Rep. Cori Bush Supports Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s Controversial Slogan
What’s happening?
Democratic Representative Cori Bush from Missouri has publicly supported her fellow ‘Squad’ member, Representative Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, who recently attempted to justify the use of the slogan ‘from the river to the sea.’
Why does it matter?
The slogan ‘from the river to the sea’ has been associated with anti-Israel sentiments and is often interpreted as a call for the elimination of the state of Israel. The endorsement of such a slogan by two prominent US representatives could potentially influence public opinion and policy towards Israel, a key ally of the United States in the Middle East.
