                     CAPITAL JEWISH MUSEUM SHOOTING

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, last night, just a few blocks from here, 
at the Capital Jewish Museum, a scourge of anti-Semitism reared its 
ugly head yet again in America. The sickening, cold-blooded murder of 
two Jewish staffers of the Israeli Embassy seems to be another horrific 
incident of anti-Semitism, which we all know is much too rampant in our 
society.
  Yaron Lischinsky, Sarah Milgrim--may their memories be a blessing.
  Such a blatant and targeted act of anti-Semitism, right here in the 
Nation's Capital, should outrage everybody--a beautiful young couple 
about to be married just starting their lives, gunned down seemingly 
because they were Jewish.
  Let this be a call to all of us: We must never allow the malicious 
poison of anti-Semitism to fester and flourish. While we still must 
learn more about this tragic incident, we do know that when anti-
Semitism is rife in the air, all kinds of individuals cling to it and, 
sometimes, unfortunately, act on it.
  This morning, I am praying for those who were killed in this 
senseless act of violence, all those affected, and their families.
