The US House of Representatives passed a resolution equating anti-Zionism with antisemitism, drawing criticism from Palestinian rights advocates who argue that it curbs free speech and distracts from the war in Gaza. The resolution, which received bipartisan support, condemns the slogan "From the River to the Sea" and characterizes demonstrators demanding a ceasefire as "rioters". Critics argue that the resolution aims to criminalize Palestinian rights advocates and label their criticism of Israeli policies as hate speech.
