Anti-Israel protesters at NYU chant 'From the river to the sea,' anti-police phrases
Protesters at New York University displayed solidarity with the Palestinian people on Monday as displays against Israel continue on college campuses.
Video footage at a gathering in Manhattan show a crowd chanting “Free, Free Palestine” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”
The slogan is a pro-Palestinian liberation phrase that has been used by Hamas and other anti-Israel actors as a call to arms against the Jewish state.
It refers to the land between the Jordan River and The Mediterranean Sea, which encompasses Israel. A House resolution condemning the phrase recently passed with 44 Democrats and one Republican opposing.
Protesters were also chanting anti-police phrases'
"No Justice, no peace. F*** these racists a** police," they were heard saying.
