Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks, R-Iowa, said Monday that she has introduced legislation to set up an antisemitism commission.

"I have a bill to set up an antisemitism commission to study this so that then we can make recommendations, work with local law enforcement, work with community areas, find out what's being taught to children, and that includes in religious facilities, in schools, in higher education...what exactly is being taught," Miller-Meeks said on the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. 

On Monday, a foreign national in Colorado was charged by the Justice Department with a federal hate crime.

Over the weekend, Egyptian foreign national Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, was arrested after allegedly yelling "Free Palestine" and using a makeshift flamethrower to attack participants in an outdoor vigil in Boulder, Colo., for Israeli hostages in Gaza.

Twelve people were injured in the attack. 

Miller-Meeks cited incidents of antisemitism that have been occurring around the country.

"We've had shootings at Jewish synagogues," she said. "We had a stabbing of a rabbi in Detroit coming home from a synagogue. So this has definitely been on the rise, and we have to acknowledge it, and then we have to start addressing it."
