Across America, 'from the river to the sea' inflames debate
Saturday, 11 November 2023
House Republicans and some Democrats have censured Democrat representative Rashida Tlaib for her support of the pro-Palestinian slogan "from the river to the sea", which they consider a "genocidal call to violence". The White House has disavowed the phrase, calling it divisive and hurtful. Tlaib defends the phrase as a call for freedom and peaceful coexistence. The slogan dates back to the Palestinian nationalist movement in the 1960s and has different interpretations among Israelis, Palestinians, and Americans who support them.
