"US House Condemns 'From the River to the Sea' Chant as Antisemitic"

The House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning the phrase "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" as antisemitic, with 43 Democrats and Republican Thomas Massie of Kentucky voting against it and another Democrat voting "present." The phrase has been used at anti-Israel rallies and is seen as a call for the eradication of Israel. Critics argue that it denies Jewish people the right to self-determination and has been used as a rallying cry by terror groups. Some Democratic members, including Squad members, voted against the resolution, while others, including top Democrat Gregory Meeks, supported it, citing the danger of the phrase.
