ALBAWABA - In a shocking revelation, the United States House of Representatives has recently passed a bill that allows them to ban the popular pro-Palestine slogan, 'From the River To the Sea, Palestine will be free' angering activists across social media.

One of the US House's representatives Anthony D’Esposito took to his official X account (Formerly known as Twitter) and said the following through a breaking news caption:

"My legislation CONDEMNING the slogan, “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” has passed the House." He then went on to add that the pro-Palestine activists who use the term are "Antisemitic" and only want the "destruction of Israel and the Jewish people".

He was met with negative comments under his post as users criticized him and whoever was in favor of banning the slogan: 

"I see AIPAC is paying you."

"There’s one country you guys work hard for and it’s not the United States of America."

"Your legislation is unconstitutional from the river to the sea!" 

"You are all kinds of Evil."

"Israeli Knesset passes new legislation."
