House approves resolution condemning Palestinian rallying cry as antisemitic [View all]
Source: The Hill
The House on Tuesday adopted a resolution condemning as antisemitic the phrase “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” a Palestinian rallying cry.
The chamber voted 377-44-1 on the measure, with 43 progressives and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) opposing the measure and Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-Pa.) voting “present.”
The resolution, which spans five pages, comes months after Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) was censured by the House in November for posting a video on the social platform X that included a clip of protesters chanting the same phrase and said President Biden “supported the genocide of the Palestinian people.” Tlaib voted against the resolution Tuesday. In a post on X in November, after her video drew controversy, Tlaib called the phrase “an aspirational call for freedom” and “not death.”
