“To require a report on acts of anti-Semitism around the world.” “Acts of anti-Semitism in countries throughout the world, including some of the world's strongest democracies, have increased significantly in frequency and scope over the last several years.” “Anti-Semitism has at times taken the form of vilification of Zionism, the Jewish national movement, and incitement against Israel.” Requires the Secy. of state to submit a one-time report to Congressional committees on anti-Semitic activity around the world that include the events; the responses of the respective government, including measures taken to enforce laws that ensure freedom of religion for the Jewish people; efforts of each government to promote anti-bias education; media that propagate, promote, or justify acts of racial hatred against Jewish people.
Seeks to establish the Office to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism in the Dept. of State, which will be run by a special envoy for monitoring and combating anti-Semitism on appointment by the secy. of state.
