A resolution condemning anti-Palestinian hatred, particularly in light of the Burlington, Vermont attack on November 25, 2023.

This resolution mourns those killed and injured in the United States by anti-Palestinian violence, decries the bias and threats faced by Palestinian Americans, and condemns hateful language advocating for the removal of Palestinians or denying their cultural traditions and right to a state. It also commends community leaders who have spoken out against such hatred and urged peace and mutual respect. The resolution specifically references the attack in Burlington, Vermont, where three college students were shot and injured for wearing a Palestinian scarf and speaking Arabic.
