Congressman Michael Lawler (R, NY-17) has introduced a resolution condemning the New York City Democratic Socialists of America (NYC-DSA) for their “shocking display of support” for the recent Hamas terrorist attack against Israel.

“It is absolutely disgusting that the NYC-DSA held a rally celebrating the murderous rampage of Hamas terrorists through Israel,” he said.

“There is no moral equivalency between Israel defending its right to exist and these cold-blooded killers who went door to door indiscriminately butchering men, women, children, and the elderly. It is unconscionable that these fringe lunatics stand in solidarity with Hamas murderers.”

House Resolution 775 condemns the NYC-DSA for the antisemitic and anti-Israel rally held on October 8. It also reaffirms America’s unwavering support for Israel as it defends itself against terrorism and U.S. commitment to standing against antisemitism both globally and domestically.

  The resolution is co-sponsored by Representatives Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11), Jeff Van Drew (NJ-02), Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-01), Marc Molinaro (NY-19), Ralph Norman (SC-05), Claudia Tenney (NY-24), Randy Feenstra (IA-04), Andrew Garbarino (NY-02), Nick Langworthy (NY-23), Anthony D’Esposito (NY-04), Chris Smith (NJ-04), Brandon Williams (NY-22), Elise Stefanik (NY-21), and Nick LaLota (NY-01).
