HRES 1207 United States House · 118th Congress

Censuring Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota for her recent hateful comments and history of antisemitism.

HRES 1207 is a resolution to formally censure Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) for her April 26, 2024, remarks at Columbia University describing Jewish students as "pro-genocide" and for past statements the resolution identifies as antisemitic, including a 2019 tweet about "the Benjamins" and a 2012 tweet about Israel "hypnotizing the world." The resolution cites rising antisemitism in the U.S. (per ADL and American Jewish Committee reports) as context for the censure, stating her comments could inflame violence against Jewish communities. A censure is a formal reprimand recorded in the Congressional Record but does not impose legal penalties or change laws. The resolution was introduced on May 7, 2024, and referred to the Committee on Ethics.
