Sellers on Amazon dealing pro-Palestinian 'river to the sea' merchandise some deem antisemitic
'From the river to the sea' seen by some as calling for destruction of Israel
Rep. Richard McCormick, R-Ga., discusses Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib claiming that River to the Sea is about co-existence, addresses American foreign policy in the Middle East and the House moving towards the impeachment of the DHS secretary.
Sellers on Amazon’s website are selling a variety of merchandise bearing the pro-Palestinian phrase "from the river to the sea" that Jews see as an antisemitic battle cry.
"From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" was emblazoned on merchandise ranging from face masks and t-shirts to banners, flags, stickers, pins and notepads when Fox News Digital performed a search on the online retail giant’s website.
Amazon did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
While Jews hear the phrase as antisemitic and a call for Israel’s destruction, many Palestinian activists say the slogan is a cry for peace and equality following what they describe as Israel's decades-long military occupation over millions of Palestinians.

The slogan was chanted by pro-Palestinian activists across the world, including in Washington, in the aftermath of Hamas’ assault in Israel on Oct. 7, a slaughter that saw at least 1,200 killed in Israel and around 240 more taken hostage back to Gaza. It was the worst violence against Jews since the Holocaust.
Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., discusses the Biden administration urging Israel to take tactical pauses in its war against Hamas, China's relationship with the U.S. and President Biden's anticipated meeting with Xi Jinping.
Israel responded with airstrikes on Gaza and a ground offensive, which have killed more than 11,000 Palestinians, according to the Health Ministry in Hamas-run Gaza.

"From the river to the sea is an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, or hate," Tlaib wrote on X.
