The pro-Palestinian slogan "from the river to the sea" has sparked controversy and inflamed debate in Congress and on college campuses. While some Palestinians see it as a call for freedom and the right of return, critics argue that it is a genocidal call to destroy Israel. The phrase has a complicated history, with different interpretations by Israelis, Palestinians, and Americans who support them. It has been adopted by Hamas, further fueling its negative connotations. The debate over the slogan reflects the ongoing bitter dispute over the Israel-Gaza conflict and the role of the United States in it.

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.
