Noa Tishby slams Rashida Tlaib for 'from the river to the sea' claim By Sam Halpern Published: November 4, 2023 08:28 Updated: November 4, 2023 14:57 ... Noa Tishby posted a video on X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday slamming prominent anti-Israel Michigan congresswoman Rashida Tlaib for her claim that the slogan, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is a call for freedom and peaceful coexistence.
Tishby is Israel’s former Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism and the Delegitimization of Israel and author of Israel, A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth.
“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,” the Michigan congresswoman wrote on X.
Tishby quickly responded, denouncing the chant as a call for ethnic cleansing.
“Let me set the record straight, from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free, means from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, will be free from Israel, where 9 million Jews, Muslims, and Christians live. From the river to the sea is a chant that has been championed by fundamentalist Islamist terrorists for years, and it calls for ethnically cleansing the Jews from their ancestral land."
Tishby’s voice was joined by others who took to the social media platform to criticize Tlaib’s statement.
Are there malicious origins of the "From the river to the sea" chant? Pro-Israel peace activist and Vice President of the Global Imams Council, Mohammad Tawhidi, otherwise known as the Imam of Peace, claimed the origins of the chant prove that it is a call for the ethnic cleansing of Jews and other non-Arabs.
“Rashida is a liar,” Tawhidi wrote. “Why? Because the chant ‘From the river to the sea’ is a translation of the original Arabic chant “from the water to the water, Palestine will remain Arab.” This is a genocidal call to ethnically cleanse the land from all non-Arabs, i.e. the Jews.”
Tishby, went a step further, accusing Tlaib of advocating on behalf of genocidal terrorists.
“On October 7, Hamas showed us exactly how they plan to free Palestine,” Tishby continued. “And you Congresswoman, are advocating on behalf of a genocidal terrorist organization. Shame on you, Congresswoman Tlaib.
Jamal Husseini claimed the Arab world's "territorial continuity" served as a "natural bulwark for peace, homogeneity, and race" that a Jewish state in the region would destroy.Herf
From the border to the sea
Let Gaza be Hamas-free.
I agree...
Thanks for your post.
Did not know what the chant Tlaib champions really means until you explained it.
From the river to the sea Isreal will be Hamas free.
Sounds like the long genocidal Arab Islamic tradition of throwing the Jews into the sea. *
Arafat lied to Bill Clinton and other Israeli Prime Ministers that he wanted peace. So he made them go through the charade the whole time. Netanyahu knew it was all BS.
Bttt
Give us your tired, your poor,
your huddled masses, yearning
to be free.
How many times has this been
misconstrued?
Isn’t ‘from the river to the sea” exactly what Israel claims is theirs? The pre-state Irgun terrorist organization’s symbol was an outline of the area of what is now Jordan and Palestine with a hand holding a rifle and the motto “only this”. Some Israelis claim the territory from the Euphrates River to the sea as being Israel’s legitimate borders.
About as many times as shall not be infringed.
EC
“From the River to the sea
Israel will always be”
“Arafat lied to Bill Clinton and other Israeli Prime Ministers that he wanted peace. So he made them go through the charade the whole time. Netanyahu knew it was all BS.”
They probably had not read the Quran...you and your entire family are on the list of those worthy of torture, rape, and murder...
This sounds correct.
Yes
Hamas Official Ghazi Hamad: We Will Repeat The October 7 Attack, Time And Again, Until Israel Is Annihilated; We Are Victims – Everything We Do Is Justified, Memri, November 1, 2023.

He added that Palestinians are willing to pay the price and that they are "proud to sacrifice martyrs." Hamad said that Palestinians are the victims of the occupation, therefore no one should blame them for the events of October 7 or anything else, adding: "Everything we do is justified."
