Eva Borgwardt of If Not Now joins us to discuss the slogan policing of Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who now faces censure in the House for using the phrase “From The River To The Sea” to champion Palestinian rights. We get into the reactions to that phrase, the misconceptions of it, how the Jewish community is conditioned to perceive it as a call for genocide and how the outrage toward Tlaib never includes the same level of response toward an actual genocide happening right now in Gaza.
We also talk about the huge protest for Palestine in DC this past weekend, and how the groundswell of support across the world represents a changing of the tide.
