“Hamas uses it as a rallying cry. And they don’t simply want to displace Jews in Israel. They want Jews dead.”

Democrats are calling out one of their own, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), after she claimed that a chant for genocide against Jews, "From the river to the sea," was an "…aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence."
On Friday, the radical Squad member posted a video on X attacking President Joe Biden for his support of the Jewish state which featured the call for ethnic cleansing of Jews from Israel.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel posted on Saturday, "@RashidaTlaib, I have supported and defended you countless times, even when you have said the indefensible because I believed you to be a good person whose heart was in the right place. But this is so hurtful to so many. Please retract this cruel and hateful remark."

None of us, especially elected leaders, should amplify language that inflames a tense situation & makes it harder for our communities to find common ground."

View on XState Rep. Noah Arbit (D-West Bloomfield) asked how Tlaib could represent her Jewish constituents after calling for their deaths. “It is disturbing and enraging that Jewish communities in Southfield, Franklin, Bingham Farms, Beverly Hills and beyond are represented by someone who adopts wholesale the call for the State of Israel to be wiped from the map, necessitating the elimination of 8 million Jews.”
Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) posted on the platform, "‘From the river to the sea’ is a call for eliminating the state of Israel that rejects a two-state solution & puts Jews in danger. We must reject extremism, no matter which side of the aisle it comes from. America’s support for Israel remains unwavering."
