Understanding the Controversial Meaning of 'From the River to the Sea'

The phrase "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" has become divisive, with some viewing it as a call for Palestinian liberation and others as a violent call to erase Israel. The phrase gained momentum in the 1960s among Palestinians seeking independence, but militant groups like Hamas adopted it. Supporters argue it is a plea for peace, while critics claim it denies Israel's right to exist. The controversy led to the censure of Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib for using the slogan. Experts urge listening to the intentions of those who use the phrase and focusing on the ongoing military assault and humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
