Hands Off Rafah! Ceasefire Now! Millions March For Palestine


At the march, protesters repeatedly participated in chants calling for Israel's destruction, including [00:00:50]: "Free, free Palestine!"



“Free Palestine!” is a chant used to call for Israel's destruction, acting as a shorter version of "From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free!" It was shouted during multiple deadly attacks on pro-Israel activists in 2025 in America. It has been used to vandalize synagogues and other Jewish-owned property, and is described as a "battle cry for the death of Jews.”

They later joined in the Arabic chant [00:01:49]: "Min el mayeh lil mayeh, Falastin Arabiyeh [From the water to the water, Palestine is Arab]!" This is the Arabic version of the chant: "From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free," which they also chanted [00:02:50].



“From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free!” is a chant used to call for the elimination of the State of Israel. In April 2024, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning the chant as antisemitic.
