Last night, the US House voted 234-188 to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), the only Palestinian-American member of Congress, with twenty-two Democrats and all but four Republicans supporting the measure. Tlaib’s supposed offense? Her use of the phrase “from the river to the sea,” a Palestinian liberation slogan that has been the target of a right-wing misinformation campaign to convince people it’s a call for violence and ethnic cleansing.

The text of the GOP’s censure resolution accuses her of “calling for the destruction of the state of Israel,” and describes the slogan as “a genocidal call to violence to destroy the state of Israel and its people to replace it with a Palestinian state extending from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.” Republicans have been joined in their parade of slander by prominent Democrats, including House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, who said the phrase was “widely understood as calling for the complete destruction of Israel.” In the most incendiary and brazenly dishonest bit of character defamation, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) charged that Tlaib, who has been on the receiving end of an uptick in death threats, “is calling for the genocide of the Jewish people.”

You will not be surprised to learn that Tlaib has done no such thing. “From the river to the sea is an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, or hate,” Tlaib had written earlier, partly sparking the firestorm. “My work and advocacy is always centered in justice and dignity for all people no matter faith or ethnicity.”
