High School Anti-Israel Activism

The “right of return” is a Palestinian demand discredited as a means to eliminate Israel. 

In the video, narrated by [00:00:01] Abbas Hamideh, he also proclaimed [00:00:44]“from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”

“From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free” is a chant calling to dismantle the State of Israel. It has also been employed by Hamas leader Khaled Mashal to call for the replacement of Israel with an Islamic state.
