Rep. Tlaib, a member of the infamous “Squad,” has taken to X with a post bashing Joe Biden for support of Israel.
People were quick to point out that the language used in the post calls for the destruction of Israel.
Check out the post here:
From the river to the sea is an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, or hate. My work and advocacy is always centered in justice and dignity for all people no matter faith or ethnicity.

Kyle Becker on X pointed out what this problematic phrase means:
'From the river to the sea' means wiping out Israel and everyone in it. Which is exactly the goal of Hamas, who made the slogan famous. Just like it was the goal during the Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur war and the 2023 Hamas invasion.
You're not fooling anyone.

This is what the American Jewish Committee has to say about the words:
“From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will Be Free” is a common call-to-arms for pro-Palestinian activists, especially student activists on college campuses. It calls for the establishment of a State of Palestine from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, erasing the State of Israel and its people. It is also a rallying cry for terrorist groups and their sympathizers, from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) to Hamas, which called for Israel’s destruction in its original governing charter in 1988 and was responsible for the October 7, 2023 terror attack on Israeli civilians, murdering over 1,000 people in the single deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust.

Tlaib can attempt to redefine the word, but it doesn’t erase what it means.
It is disgusting that someone so blatantly anti-Semitic is allowed to hold office.
Don’t forget that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene attempted to censure Tlaib but was rejected.
Here are the Republicans who either didn’t vote or voted against the censure:

Now Tlaib is trying to accuse Biden of supporting ‘genocide’
Democrats shot themselves in the foot by encouraging these lunatics to join their party.
Fox News has more on the story:
Tlaib’s post on X, formerly known as Twitter, condemned Biden’s declaration that the U.S. stands with Israel and opposes a cease-fire, telling him, “the majority of the American people are not with you on this one. #CeasefireNow.”
ADVERTISEMENTThe post also included a video of scenes from Gaza and protests in the U.S., interspersed with clips from Biden, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The scenes included protest chants from Ohio saying, “No peace on stolen land!” Illinois “Free! Free! Palestine!” and Michigan “From the river to the sea.”
The video ended with Tlaib saying to the camera, “We will remember in 2024,” before the words “Joe Biden supported the genocide of the Palestinian people,” appeared on the screen along with a demand for him to immediately support a cease-fire “or don’t count on us in 2024.”
The silver lining in this story is that many Muslims will NOT be voting for Democrats come 2024.
I would love to see what Tlaib says in 2024 when she is forced to vote for Biden again.
Let’s be serious; no one in the “Squad” would ever vote for President Trump.
