Today I rise in support of Senator Schumer's address on anti-Semitism in the Senate. I echo Senator Schumer's concerns. Anti-Semitism is on the rise in our country, and it is simply unacceptable. As Americans, we have the responsibility to condemn bigotry and hate in all of its forms, including anti-Semitism. To quote my friend and colleague in the Senate, ``We are stewards of the flames of liberty, tolerance, and equality that warm our American melting pot, and make it possible for Jewish Americans to prosper alongside Palestinian Americans, and every other immigrant group from all over the world.'' I thank Senator Schumer for his powerful words. As we watch the events abroad and here at home unfold, I urge Americans to remember that our shared humanity, commitment to equality, and tolerance are our greatest strengths. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record Senator Schumer's remarks.
