"House Condemns Palestinian Rallying Cry as Antisemitic"

The House passed a resolution condemning the Palestinian rallying cry "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" as antisemitic, with 43 progressives and one Republican opposing it. The phrase has sparked controversy, with critics arguing it seeks to eliminate Israel, while supporters view it as aspirational for an independent Palestinian state. The majority of lawmakers support a two-state solution and criticize the chant for delegitimizing Israel's existence, while the Anti Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee have labeled it as antisemitic.
