WASHINGTON - The White House on Wednesday denounced U.S. lawmaker Rashida Tlaib's use of a pro-Palestinian rallying cry"from the river to the sea", which is viewed by many Jews as antisemitic and calling for Israel's eradication. "As it relates to that term, we've been very clear we strongly disagree," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.
The U.S. House voted on Tuesday to censure Tlaib, Congress's lone Palestinian-American lawmaker, for comments she made regarding Israel's war with Hamas in Gaza.We encourage you to use comments to engage with other users, share your perspective and ask questions of authors and each other.
