Combating antisemitism

Washington, D.C. -- On Wednesday, January 17th Senate and House leaders hosted family members of the hostages for a press conference and candlelight vigil following their 100th day in Hamas captivity.

"My colleagues and I mourn 103 days since Hamas' October 7th massacre," said Congressman Brad Sherman (CA-32) after the conclusion of the vigil. "Over 1,200 innocent Israelis were killed that day, more Jewish deaths than any day since the Holocaust. Since then, too many innocent Israelis and Gazans have been killed due to Hamas' criminal tactics."

The Hamas Ceasefire Plan

Hamas says it wants a ceasefire. Here's their proposal:

Rampage – October 7^th. 1,200 Israelis murdered.

Retreat – don't stay and fight in Israel – retreat behind Palestinian human shields.

Regroup – Hamas needs a month or two ceasefire to regroup its military forces and prepare the next attack

Washington, D.C. - Congressman Brad Sherman (CA-32) joined the nearly 300,000 people who rallied in Washington on Tuesday at the "March for Israel", calling for the release of the hostages held by terrorists in Gaza and invoking the Holocaust while condemning Hamas's October 7 onslaught with a cry of "Never Again."

"I was honored to join today's March For Israel - a powerful display of solidarity where thousands from across the country gathered to reaffirm the United States' unwavering support for Israel and stand united against anti-Semitism," said Congressman Sherman.

The Following Statement Signed by Representatives Brad Sherman, Jared Moskowitz, Seth Magaziner, Greg Landsman, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Dan Goldman, Brad Schneider, Jake Auchincloss, and Josh Gottheimer.

We are utterly sickened and outraged to learn of the death of a 69-year-old Jewish man, Paul Kessler, by an anti-Israel protester in Ventura County. We urge the ongoing investigation to move quickly and thoroughly.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, on the one-month anniversary of Hamas terrorists' deadly attack on Israel, Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA 32^nd District) hosted a press conference on Capitol Hill with five families of hostages from the war in Gaza to ensure their loved ones are not forgotten as the crisis in the Middle East continues. Congressman Sherman's Congressional colleagues joined the event, including Congresswoman Kathy Manning (D-NC 6th District) and Congressman Dan Goldman (D-NY 10^th District).

Washington, D.C. – The U.S. House of Representatives passed Congressman Brad Sherman's (CA-32) Peace and Tolerance in Palestinian Education Act that would require the U.S. secretary of state to issue an annual public report on teaching materials "in schools in areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority or located in Gaza and controlled by any other entity."

Washington, D.C. -- Today, Congressman Brad Sherman (CA-32) joined with those honoring victims of the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting, the fifth anniversary of the deadliest attack on the Jewish community in the United States.

"Five years ago today, our hearts broke by the tragic events at the Tree of Life Synagogue when 11 Jews were heinously murdered in the deadliest attack on the Jewish community in the United States," said Congressman Sherman. "We remember those we lost and stand united against anti-Semitism and hate in all its forms."
