antisemitism-watchdog-defined-as-code-eradicating-israel
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., on Friday defended a controversial phrase
being used by anti-Israel protesters across the country, which one
antisemitism watchdog defined as "code for eradicating" the largely Jewish
nation.
"From the river to the sea is an aspirational call for freedom, human
rights, and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, or hate. My work
and advocacy is always centered in justice and dignity for all people no
matter faith or ethnicity," the far-left "Squad" member wrote in post on X
following a video she posted earlier in the day that included the phrase.
The Anti-Defamation League, an advocacy group that combats antisemitism,
ripped Tlaib for a previous use of the phrase in 2020. "From the River to
the Sea, Palestine will be Free - code for eradicating the State of Israel
and its millions of Jews. Reminder - this is a sitting U.S.
Congresswoman," the group wrote on X, then referred to as Twitter.
TLAIB ACCUSES BIDEN OF SUPPORTING ‘GENOCIDE’ OF PALESTINIANS, WARNS: ‘WE
WILL REMEMBER IN 2024’
The phrase has also received sharp criticism from others, including former
counterterrorism expert Nathan Sales, who said last month that when
protestors chant "Palestine from the river to the sea," they are really
calling for the "extermination of the Jewish state."
"They think that Israel shouldn't exist at all," Nathan Sales told Fox
News' "Sunday Night in America." "This is exterminationist rhetoric and
our First Amendment means that we have to tolerate this kind of speech,
but the antidote for that kind of abhorrent speech is more speech. We need
to expose what these Hamas sympathizers are really all about."
The video Tlaib posted to X before defending the phrase included demands
for President Biden to support a cease-fire to stop "the genocide of the
Palestinian people" or face electoral consequences in 2024.
In the video, Tlaib condemned Biden’s declaration that the U.S. stands
with Israel and opposes a cease-fire, telling him, "the majority of the
American people are not with you on this one. #CeasefireNow."
A multitude of X users found the post "disturbing," and accused Tlaib of
antisemitism. Others disputed her claim that most American’s don’t want to
back Biden’s support for Israel, and some demanded she resign.
