How come they call it 'code'? It very clearly says to eliminate Israel!
"From the river to the sea - such bullshit. They have repeatedly been
offered half, and refuse to compromise or share in any way.

Rashida Tlaib defends phrase antisemitism watchdog defined as ‘code for eradicating’ Israel
The Anti-Defamation League previously ripped Tlaib over the phrase in 2020 Brandon Gillespie By Brandon Gillespie Fox News

Joy Behar calls out Rep. Rashida Tlaib for refusing to admit Israel not responsible for hospital explosion
"The View" co-host called out Rep. Rashida Tlaib on Tuesday for
repeating "lies" accusing Israel of bombing a hospital in Gaza.

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.

The use of the phrase 'from the river to the sea' by a sitting U.S. Congresswoman is troubling. This isn't just about free speech; it's
about recognizing the weight of words historically used to undermine
Israel's legitimacy. Sovereign nations deserve respect, and our allies
rely on us to promote s...

The phrase "from the river to the sea" historically refers to the land
from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, encompassing Israel and

How can that woman have a security clearance with the way she is acting?
The FBI should be investigating her, but instead they are too busy going
after parents and the religious institutions.

Tlaib is roadkill and Blinken is just kidding himself. No cease fire
until the hostages are released. No more terrorism. There will never be
a two-state solution as long as the present regime in Iran exists. They
will do anything to prevent it.

The Jews have been out of Gaza since 2005-2006. So why didn’t Gaza
thrive? They could have. But Hamas (elected as the people’s representative), turned it into a slum and kept the riches for
themselves. The Hamas leaders live in 5 star hotels in Qatar and truly
could care less about the Palestin...See more

It is a threat, not to democracy, that dems/libs worry about. It is
