Requires the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to Congress by March 20, 2026 assessing the threat posed by violent antisemitism within transnational extremist movements. The report must document extremist ideologies that include antisemitic elements (including racially and ethnically motivated extremism), review violent acts motivated by antisemitic sentiment, catalog propaganda spreading these ideologies, and evaluate the security risk to the US homeland, Americans abroad, and US military personnel.
This directs the Pentagon to formally document antisemitic violence as a national security threat within extremist networks. The bill does not adopt the IHRA definition or restrict speech. Its significance lies in elevating antisemitism within violent extremism as a defense-policy concern — potentially influencing how the military assesses, monitors, and prioritizes response to antisemitic terrorism versus other forms of extremist violence.
