U.S. CONGRESS OUTLAWS “FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA” AS ANTISEMITIC
April 19, 2024The House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a resolution condemning the motto “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” as antisemitic.
The motion passed by a vote of 377 to 44, and was the result of a bipartisan effort led by Democratic Reps. Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey and Jared Moskowitz of Florida, along with Republican Rep. Anthony D’Esposito from New York. The motion was opposed by 34 Democrats and one Republican.
The resolution posits that the chant is an “antisemitic call to arms with the goal of the eradication of the State of Israel, which is located between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.”
Among those who rejected the resolution were Progressive House Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Cori Bush, who have all been outspoken in criticism of Israel amid its war with Hamas in Gaza. Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, a self-described libertarian, also voted against the motion.
The DOUBLE STANDARDS! Netanyahu, AT THE UN, presented a map of “GREATER ISRAEL” encompassing EVERYTHING West of the Jordan River BUT NO, NO ONE CONDEMNED HIM!! This is the PM of ISRAEL explicitly calling for the eradication of Palestine. Instead the US Congress focus on the chant of a colonised people seeking their freedom.
