Rep. Jake Auchincloss: ‘From the River to the Sea’ Is Reprehensible

EXCERPT:

HUNT: “You obviously saw those protests re-escalating or at least coming back as students return to campus. The students in that video were chanting ‘From the river to the sea.’ And that phrase has also been in the news because Meta's board recently said that phrase does not constitute hate speech. I'm wondering your reaction to the students but also to that decision from Meta. How do you view that phrase and should it be considered hate speech?”
AUCHINCLOSS: “Thanks for having me on, Kasie. Good morning. I personally find that phrase reprehensible because it calls for the extinction of Israel. And that's why I think that most of those protesters who were chanting it -- they really shouldn't be described as pro-Palestinian protesters.”
