1. Bills & Resolutions

**HEADS UP**:  On 4/9/25 the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions will hold a hearing (and advance to the full Senate for a vote) S. 558, the “Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2025“ (introduced 2/13/25 by Scott, R-SC, and having 40 bipartisan cosponsors). As noted many times in the past, this legislation seeks to codify into U.S. law, and enforce, the IHRA definition of antisemitism, including its “contemporary examples” that explicitly conflate criticism of Israel, Israeli policies/actions, and Zionism with antisemitism [with the targeting of such criticism the clear objective of the legislation]. Further details on the hearing are covered in section 3, below.

Disapproval of More US Weapons Exports to Israel

(DISAPPROVAL OF US WEAPONS SALES TO ISRAEL): On 4/3/25, the Senate voted on motions to discharge from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee 2 resolutions, previously introduced by Sanders (I-VT), disapproving of proposed foreign military sales to Israel of certain defense articles and services (votes that in effect were referendums on the measures themselves, which is why they are being reported as such). Both resolutions were rejected by the Senate: S. J. Res. 26 was defeated by a vote of 15-83, with 1 voting “present”;  S. J. Res.33 was defeated by a vote of 15-82 (with 1 voting “present”). Also see:

Jayapal to introduce House versions of Sen. Sanders’ JRDs to block the sale of new bombs and weapons to the Israeli government. With Netanyahu violating the ceasefire in Gaza and resuming the genocidal bombing campaign, we need to save lives and stop the killing.”

  • H. J. Res. 83: Introduced by 3/31/25 Jayapal (D-WA) 3/31/25 and 16 Democratic cosponsors, “Providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to Israel of certain defense articles and services.” Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
  • H. J. Res. 84: Introduced 3/31/25 by Jayapal (D-WA) 3/31/25 and 14 Democratic cosponsors, “Providing for congressional disapproval of the proposed foreign military sale to Israel of certain defense articles and services.” Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Res. 86: Introduced 3/31/25 by Tlaib (D-MI) and 14 Democratic cosponsors, “Providing for congressional disapproval of the report of enhancement or upgrade of sensitive foreign military related to a sale to the Government of Israel of certain defense articles and services.” Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

As noted in the 10/5/23 edition of the Round-Up, that bill (and until text is available, we don’t know if this is exactly the same text) took a kitchen-sink approach to Iran and Iran sanctions, seeking to legislate a whole wish-list of Iran-related policies, including:

3. Hearings

April 1, 2025: The House Committee on Foreign Affairs held entitled, “A Return to Maximum Pressure: Comprehensively Countering the Iranian Regime’s Malign Activities.” Witnesses were: Norman T. Roule, CSIS (statement); Claire Jungman, UANI (statement); and Dana Stroul, WINEP (statement). Also see:

April 1, 2025: The Senate Armed Services Committee held a hearing entitled, “To consider the nomination of: Lieutenant General John D. Caine, USAF (Retired) to be general and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.” The sole witness was Lieutenant General John D. Caine, USAF (Retired). Hearing video is here. Also see Caine’s answers to “Advance Policy Questions“, which includes section on Iran [“U.S. policy and our interest to deny Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, neutralize Iran’s campaign of regional aggression, and disrupt the IRGC’s destabilizing activities. The Joint Force will retain the ability to deny Iran a nuclear weapon; identify and support action against Iranian and Iranian-backed threats; and disrupt terrorist threats that endanger the U.S. Homeland and U.S. interests. The U.S. military will work with our regional Middle East partners to increase their ability to deter and defend against Iranian aggression and Israel.” and on Israel [“Israel is a model U.S. ally, and the U.S.-Israel alliance is of great importance to the United States. Enabling Israel’s security and ability to defend itself is thus a key U.S. national security objective. Achieving durable security for Israel and strengthening formal and informal security cooperation between Israel and its Arab neighbors will reduce the burden on the Joint Force and enable greater focus on threats elsewhere around the globe.“] Also see Caine’s exchange with Sen. Cotton (R-AR) over the potential for the US bombing Iran (starting at 44:54 in the hearing video), with Cotton pretty clearly making the case that he thinks it is a good idea and anyone who opposes the idea is hysterical.

April 1, 2025: The Senate Foreign Relations Committee held a business meeting to consider a number of nominations, including the nomination of Thomas Barrack to be Ambassador to the Republic of Turkey. Also see: Barrack’s written testimony; Chairman Risch (R-ID) opening statement; Hearing for Trump’s ambassador nominee to Turkey underscores chill to U.S.-Turkey relations [“Tom Barrack called Turkey a ‘valued NATO partner’ and largely steered clear of criticism“] (Jewish Insider 4/2/25)

April 2, 2025: The Appropriations Committee hosted a hearing entitled, National Security and Department of State – Outside Witness Day. Outside witnesses included: AIPAC CEO Elliot Brandt (statement, in which he lays out AIPAC’s 2025 key asks of Congress, including continued massive U.S. aid, opposition to any conditions on that aid, and more).
April 2, 2025: The Senate Foreign Relations Committee held a Business meeting at which, among other things, they voted (in a party-line vote, with all Republicans but one voting “yes”, and all Democrats voting “no”)to advance to the full Senate the nomination of Mike Huckabee to be the next U.S. ambassador to Israel. Also see: Senate committee advances Huckabee nomination for envoy to Israel (Jewish News Syndicate 4/2/25); Senate committee advances Huckabee nomination on party-line vote (Jewish Insider 4/2/25)

April 9, 2025: The Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee will hold an “Executive Session” to consider (and for sure pass) three bills, including S. 558, Antisemitism Awareness Act of 2025, and S. 163, Protecting Students on Campus Act of 2025. As a reminder,

  • S. 558 seeks to codify into law, and enforce, the IHRA definition of antisemitism, including its “contemporary examples” that explicitly conflate criticism of Israel, Israeli policies/actions, and Zionism with antisemitism [with the targeting of such criticism the clear objective of the legislation].
  • S. 163 seeks to encourage and make it easier for students to file complaints regarding alleged antisemitism on campus — an initiative that, when coupled with S. 558, would quite literally encourage, enable, and arguably require the wholesale suppression and punishment of virtually all free speech/protest on campus related to Israel or Zionism.

Also see: HELP committee press release issued 4/2/35 — the Committee “will vote on bipartisan legislation to address the continued antisemitic attacks and harassment against Jewish students on college campuses. Specifically, the HELP Committee will consider the Protecting Students on Campus Act and the Antisemitism Awareness Act.” [emphasis added]. Also see: Senate committee to consider, vote on Antisemitism Awareness Act (Jewish Insider 4/1/25)

4. Selected Members on the Record

Unhappy with Tariffs on Israel

[note: basically the complaint here is that Israel is being held to the same (arguably irrational) policy the Trump Admin is applying worldwide — thus, the ask is not that the Trump Admin should revisit this (arguably irrational) policy, but that it should hold Israel to a different policy than the rest of the world]

  • House Foreign Affairs Committee (Democrats) 4/4/25: X-post – “Trump is slapping some of our closest allies and strongest economic partners with steeper tariffs than our adversaries. We’re hitting ISRAEL harder than IRAN. Trump’s fighting for his MAGA billionaires and dictators, not American workers.“
  • Nadler (D-NY) 4/3/25: X-post – “Trump placed a higher tariff on Israel, a democratic US ally, than on many of Israel’s autocratic neighbors. Under Trump’s tariffs, Israel will be tariffed at 17%, while autocratic neighbors like Turkey, Egypt, the UAE, and Morocco only receive a 10% tariff. Despite Republican assurances, the Trump-Netanyahu unholy alliance hasn’t led to the greatest flourishing of the U.S.- Israel partnership in its history nor greater Israeli integration in the region. Rather, it has been one that drastically singled Israel out on the world stage—the very act many fear most. Any policy disagreements between Democratic US administrations and right-wing Israeli government pale in comparison to this dramatic division. These tariffs endanger not only Israel’s economic prosperity, but its security and stability as well. Don’t let anyone claim Trump is good for Israel.”

Palestinian Lives & Welfare Matter!

  • Welch (D-VT) 4/3/25: X-post – “The bodies of more than a dozen aid workers in Gaza were recovered from a mass grave. Hundreds of international aid workers have been killed by reckless Israeli strikes. The U.S. can’t continue to fund human rights violations. We must stop funding Netanyahu’s war campaign.“
  • Tlaib (D-MI) 4/1/25: X-post – “They were killed by Israeli forces while trying to save lives. As long as our leaders continue to close their eyes and vote for more weapons, these war crimes will continue. Arms embargo now.” [linked to X-post from AP with headline/link to article: “Israeli troops killed 15 Palestinian medics and buried them in a mass grave, UN says“]
  • Jayapal (D-WA) 3/31/25: Congressman Jayapal Reintroduces Bill to Restore UNRWA Funding

Palestinian lives matter…but only when we can use attacks on them to attack Hamas

  • Diaz-Balart (R-FL) 4/3/25: X-post – “According to his family, 22-year-old Uday was murdered and tortured by Hamas terrorists for daring to criticize their ruthless rule over Gaza and their barbaric attack on Israel on October 7. We must stand with Israel in eradicating the scourge of terrorism.” [along with link to YouTube video published by the Free Press – EXCLUSIVE: Family of Murdered Gaza Protester Speaks Out]
  • Hagerty (R-TN) 3/31/25: X-post – “A 22-year-old Gazan was tortured and brutally murdered for protesting Hamas rule in Gaza. No outrage from the pro-Hamas radical left in the United States & no reporting from mainstream media because it doesn’t fit their narrative.”
  • Fetterman (D-NY) 3/29/25: X-post – “‘reportedly…to suppress anti-Hamas protests.’ Palestinians openly protesting Hamas: there’s truth to power. Hamas could end this by releasing all remaining hostages, but they never wanted peace—and they are a cancer that must be cut out.”

Targeting the UN & Criticism of Israel

  • House Foreign Affairs Committee (Republicans) 4/3/25: X-post – “Anti-Semitic and anti-Israel voices have captured the @UN. The first step to beating them back is by rejecting Francesca Albanese. House Republicans stand with @POTUS in saying Francesca Albanese must go!” Linked to X-post by the US mission to the UN, “Today, the US sent SG @antonioguterres a letter opposing Francesca Albanese’s renewal as UN Special Rapporteur.  We condemn her virulent antisemitism, which demonizes Israel and supports Hamas. She has clearly violated the UN’s code of conduct and is unfit for her role. Her reappointment would show the @UN tolerates antisemitic hatred and support for terrorism.“

We Love The Israeli Govt & It Loves Us!

  • Tenney (R-NY) 4/2/25: X-post – “Thank you, @elicoh1, for meeting with me to discuss the ongoing need for our countries to work together in countering the IRGC & its growing influence in the Middle East. Under President Trump, America will always stand with Israel“. Responding to X-post by Israeli Minister Eli Cohen 4/1/25, “In Congresswoman @claudiatenney’s office, there is a rule: the term ‘West Bank’ is not to be used—only ‘Judea and Samaria.’ In our meeting, we discussed the need to present Iran with a credible military threat and to promote joint projects in the Middle East, as well as the mutual R&D opportunities through the BIRD foundation. Thank you for your support! We will continue working to strengthen the ties between Israel and the U.S.”
  • Graham (R-SC) 3/31/25: X-post – “While it is undeniably true that America has no better friend than Israel, the appointment of Eli Sharvit to be the new leader of the Shin Bet is beyond problematic. There has never been a better supporter for the State of Israel than President Trump. The statements made by Eli Sharvit about President Trump and his polices will create unnecessary stress at a critical time. My advice to my Israeli friends is change course and do better vetting.” Also see Graham follow-up X-post. [Netanyahu subsequently canceled the appointment]

Higher Ed/Free Speech

  • Nadler (D-NY) 4/1/25: X-thread – “I strongly condemn former President Trump’s latest attacks on higher education cloaked under the guise of fighting antisemitism. Once again, the President is weaponizing the real pain American Jews face to advance his desire to wield control over the truth-seeking academic institutions that stand as a bulwark against authoritarianism. Withholding funding from Columbia and, potentially, Harvard will not make Jewish students safer. Cutting funding to programs that work to cure cancer and make other groundbreaking discoveries will not make Jewish students safer. Impounding congressionally appropriated funding will not make Jewish students safer. Trump’s ‘review’ is part of a larger effort to silence universities and intimidate those who challenge the MAGA agenda. It is a dangerous and politically motivated move that risks stifling free thought and academic inquiry. Make no mistake. Trump’s actions are not rooted in genuine concern for combatting hate. If Trump were truly committed to fighting antisemitism, he would not have crippled the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, the only agency specifically tasked with enforcing anti-discrimination laws at our nation’s educational institutions. If Trump were truly committed to fighting antisemitism, he would start by rooting out the numerous antisemites that he has brought into some the highest echelons of power in the government of the United States. Let’s also not forget that Trump’s record is stained by praise for neo-Nazis, Holocaust deniers, and white nationalists—groups that openly express their disdain for the Jewish people. We cannot allow Trump’s authoritarian tactics to prevail—this is not the America we want to live in, nor is it the America we need. I call on our nation’s universities to reject President Trump’s demands and to fight back against these hostile acts. If necessary, these issues must be litigated in federal court to put an end to the illegal and unconstitutional actions taken by the Trump Administration.”

  • Lawler (R-NY) 3/31/25: Congressman Mike Lawler Demands Answers From the Jacob Burns Film Center After Refusal to Screen October 8th; also see Lawler X-post
  • Lawler (R-NY) 3/29/25: X-post- “This is a slap in the face to every Jewish student on your campus. Resign now.” Responding to New York Post X-post with headline/link to article: “Columbia’s new prez called Congress hearings on antisemitism ‘nonsense’”
  • Walberg (R-MI) 3/28/25: Chairman Walberg Statement on Columbia President Stepping Down

Torres fights to claim role of  Israel’s Staunchest Defender & Promoter

  • Torres (D-NY) 4/1/25: X-post – “Francesca Albanese, who is the poster child for the UN’s systemic antisemitism, insists that Israel is the only nation-state on earth that has no right to defend itself. Not even an invasion of Israel as barbaric as October 7th is a justification for Israeli self-defense. In Francesca’s morally inverted universe, Israel must volunteer to have its babies butchered in cold blood by the barbaric hands of terror and then lay down its arms so that more Jews can be slaughtered. Zionism is Francesca’s worst nightmare: it is the triumph of Jewish self-defense.“
  • Torres (D-NY) 3/31/25: X-post – “Anti-Israel extremists held a protest outside my office, demanding that I resign from office for the thought crime of supporting both the Jewish People and the Jewish State. After careful consideration, their request has been denied. These extremists are seen using a pole to simulate the act of beating me to death. Their chant is no less threatening: ‘Ritchie Torres go to hell. It is right to rebel.’ My enemies clearly want me dead.” [with video]
  • Torres (D-NY) 3/30/25: X-post – “Israel has been a responsible guardian of the Abrahamic tradition, transforming Jerusalem into a miraculous mosaic of religious pluralism among the most devout Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Under Israeli sovereignty, 80,000 Muslims freely prayed at the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the first day of Ramadan. By contrast, during Jordanian control over East Jerusalem from 1948 to 1967, Jews were strictly prohibited from even entering the Old City, let alone praying at the Western Wall. Israel’s unprecedented commitment to religious liberty and diversity in the world’s holiest city is among the unacknowledged virtues of the Jewish State.“
  • Torres (D-NY) 3/29/25: X-post – “In the span of a year, ‘The Economist’ went from declaring Israel too powerless (‘Israel Alone’) to declaring Israel too powerful (Israel’s hubris). Hubris has been the downfall not of Israel but of Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and the Islamic Republic. The axis of terror has been built on a hubristic house of cards that has come crashing down.”
