“I join Vice President Harris in condemning yesterday's anti-Israel, pro-Hamas demonstrations. The demonstrators may not know that their leaders are funded by Iran and Qatar, which fund the organizations and the propaganda. These same leaders glorified October 7. They rejoiced at the death of every Israeli civilian. They condemned Israel on October 7 before Israel had done anything to respond because their demonstrations were not about whether Israel should not respond. Their demonstrations were a glorification of the death brought by Hamas. Now, the followers chant, ``From the river to the sea,'' but some of them don't even know which river, which sea. What they don't know is the background of that slogan, ``From the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free.'' It is a declaration that every Jew who lives from the river to the sea should be killed or ethnically cleansed. Since, as we saw in the 1930s, there is no country that wants to accept millions of Jewish refugees, that means they should all be killed. That is the chant that we hear, ``From the river to the sea.'' Prior to October 7, we needed to see a two-state solution, and I hope we get there, but there is this effort to convey the life of those who lived in Gaza as being somehow equivalent to the Rohingya refugees, refugees living in camps in Bangladesh.…”
