In 2015, the terrorist attacks in Paris drew overdue attention to the resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe. Also a growing problem in other parts of the globe, anti-Semitism threatens not only Jews but also other minorities, and societies themselves. Left unchecked, anti-Semitism leads to an increase in overall persecution and repression.

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the U.S. Congress’s Bipartisan Taskforce for Combating Anti-Semitism, which has already stacked up considerable accomplishments. In the coming year, Congress should rededicate itself to countering the resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe and around the globe.
