On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) stated that he would support a censure of Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) over “her misinformation on the hospital bombing, which, obviously, we know was not true, that she continued to spread even after intelligence came out it wasn’t true,” and for her use of the slogan “From the river to the sea,” and responded to Tlaib’s attempts to redefine the phrase by stating that “‘From the river to the sea’ means the destruction of Israel and everyone who’s in it, okay? Just like ‘Mein Kampf’ is not a coloring book and the final solution means exactly what Hitler meant it to mean.”
Host Jake Tapper asked, “Your fellow House Democrat, Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, is accusing President Biden of supporting a genocide in Gaza. And she said, ‘From the river to the sea[,]’ she tried to explain this on Twitter what that call means. She’s obviously Palestinian American. She said, ‘From the river to the sea is an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, or hate.’ I know there are a lot of people who disagree that that’s what ‘From the river to the sea’ means, given the fact that there are extremists, especially terrorists like Hamas, who use that phrase to mean, from the river to the sea, destroy Israel. What’s your view of what Rep. Tlaib is saying?”
Moskowitz answered, “Well, first of all, we don’t disagree, there are — some debates don’t have two sides. ‘From the river to the sea’ means the destruction of Israel and everyone who’s in it, okay? Just like ‘Mein Kampf’ is not a coloring book and the final solution means exactly what Hitler meant it to mean. ‘From the river to the sea’ is calling for the destruction of an entire country, period, full stop. And so, look, the Congresswoman has a First Amendment right. She can say whatever she wants. But, at the same time, Congress has the ability to express their displeasure with a fellow colleague of ours calling for the destruction of a country. What if we had someone going around saying, France should be wiped off the map? We would think that’s outrageous. But, somehow, ‘From the river to the sea’ is debatable. It is another ridiculous double standard when it comes to Israel.”

Rep. Rashida Tlaib is facing criticisms from all sides after posting a video featuring a rallying cry often used by Palestinian militants.
On Friday Tlaib posted a video slamming President Biden’s response to the war in Gaza.
The video featured a crowd chanting ‘from the river to the sea,’ a phrase used to call for a Palestinian takeover of the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, which includes Israel.
The chant is widely used by those who do not believe Israel has a right to exist.
‘[Biden], the majority of the American people are not with you on this one. #CeasefireNow,’ Tlaib wrote on Twitter along with the clip.

Published November 6, 2023
Michigan Democratic Socialist Rep. Rashida Tlaibis getting bashed by her own party for defending a controversial pro-Palestinian chant — signaling “The Squad’’ could be in re-election danger over its Israel stance.
Tlaib — a member of the so-called “Squad” of far-left House members — last week defended the phrase, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” which Zionist groups view as a rallying cry to destroy Israel and carry out genocide against Jews.
Tlaib contended that the chant “is an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful co-existence, not death, destruction, or hate.” It refers to the land that encompasses both Israeli and Palestinian territory from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.
Her defense of the divisive phrase came after she posted a video in which a crowd chanted it.
But even numerous fellow Democrats swiftly voiced their dismay at Tlaib, the first Palestinian American-woman elected to Congress, illustrating a growing schism among Democrats over the war in Israel.
