103d CONGRESS
2d Session
H. CON. RES. 244
To condemn the March 1, 1994, attack on American Lubavitcher students.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Mr. KYL submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred jointly to the Committees on Foreign Affairs and the Judiciary
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
To condemn the March 1, 1994, attack on American Lubavitcher students.
Whereas, on March 1, 1994, a group of American Lubavitcher rabbinical students traveling in a van in New York City were shot at by a man of Lebanese descent who reportedly shouted `kill the Jews';
Whereas the rabbinical students were innocent passengers and not guilty of any offense;
Whereas one rabbinical student was killed and several others wounded by the attack;
Whereas acts of racial and religious bigotry are morally reprehensible;
Whereas acts of violence and terrorism fuel hatred and spur other acts of revenge;
Whereas the assault may have been in retaliation for the attack against Muslim worshipers in the Mosque of Abraham in Hebron on February 25, 1994;
Whereas the students were returning from a prayer vigil and were not engaged in any activity relating to the uprisings in the West Bank and Gaza;
Whereas the Israeli Government has condemned the Hebron attack and has taken steps to confiscate arms, establish order, and discourage further acts of violence; and
Whereas the leadership of the Palestine Liberation Organization has not publicly prevailed upon the international Arab community to take commensurate steps and withhold acts of random violence: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
That it is the sense of the Congress that--(1) the unprovoked attack on innocent Lubavitcher rabbinical students on March 1, 1994, was an abhorrent act of bigotry and hatred; and
(2) the Palestine Liberation Organization and other representatives of the Palestinian people should condemn the attack and take all appropriate steps within their control to deter all future attacks on innocent citizens.
