Is the pro-Palestine 'from the river to the sea' chant a call for genocide?

Less than 48 hours after Hamas terrorists slaughtered, raped, and kidnapped innocent Israeli civilians on October 7, demonstrations erupted across many nations in celebration of the attack.

Before Israel even had a chance to retaliate against the Gaza Strip's terrorist government, Hamas, such protesters could often be heard shouting anti-Israel chants, including one that at first listen may come across to many as being harmless.

"From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."

The chant is still popular during ongoing protests, and in today's report, I interview members of Vancouver's Jewish and Iranian communities, who say the call is not only one against Israel's sovereignty but is also a call for the genocide of the Jewish people.

Listen to opinions of the chant from participants of a "Bring Them Home Now!" rally that recently called for the safe return of the over 220 Israeli hostages still being held captive by Hamas.
