This resolution condemns the New York City-Democratic Socialists of America rally on October 8, 2023. The resolution also (1) expresses that the rally celebrated the Hamas terror attack and the killing of Israelis, (2) supports Israel’s right to defend itself, and (3) stands against anti-Semitism.

Bill 118 HRES 775, titled "Condemning the New York City-Democratic Socialists of America (NYC-DSA) antisemitic and anti-Israel rally on October 8, 2023," was introduced in the US Congress in response to an event held by the NYC-DSA that was deemed to be antisemitic and anti-Israel in nature.

The rally in question took place on October 8, 2023, and was organized by the NYC-DSA, a political organization that identifies as democratic socialist. The event reportedly featured speakers and signs that promoted antisemitic rhetoric and expressed anti-Israel sentiments.

The bill condemns the NYC-DSA for hosting an event that perpetuated antisemitism and anti-Israel views, which are seen as harmful and divisive. The legislation aims to hold the organization accountable for its actions and send a message that such behavior is not acceptable. The bill is currently being debated in Congress, with supporters arguing that it is important to stand against hate speech and discrimination in all forms. Critics, however, have raised concerns about the potential impact on freedom of speech and the right to protest. Overall, Bill 118 HRES 775 highlights the ongoing debate surrounding the boundaries of free speech and the need to address hate speech and discrimination in a responsible and respectful manner.
