The U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday voted 234-188 to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich), a move one step below expelling a House member, for widely-criticized comments she made about Israel.
The censure proposal by GOP representative Richard McCormick of Georgia accused Tlaib of “promoting false narratives” and calling for the destruction of Israel after she used the phrase “From the river to the sea” in a video posted to social media.
In the video, Tlaib also accused U.S. President Joe Biden of supporting “the genocide of the Palestinian people,” and called on him to back a ceasefire in the war between Israel and the Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
Tlaib later claimed that “From the river to the sea” is a “call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, or hate.”
The phrase “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is often used in anti-Israel demonstrations around the world and refers to the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, which encompasses all of Israel’s territory.
