The United States House of Representatives 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.”
They criticize those who invoke “from the river to the sea” — referring to the territory between the Jordan River on the west and the Mediterranean Sea on the east — as delegitimizing Israel’s existence.
