Congressional leadership at pro-Israel rally blast pro-Palestinian protesters for ‘echoing Hamas’s cry’

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer tells the pro-Israel rally in Washington that, “When Hamas says from the river to the sea, they mean all the present-day Israel should be a Jewish-free land.”

“We stand with you, and we will not rest until you get all the assistance you need,” Schumer says before leading the ralliers in chants of “Am Yisrael Chai.”

Speaking after Schumer, House Speaker Mike Johnson says, “the calls for a ceasefire are outrageous.”

“Israel will cease their counter-offensive when Hamas ceases to be a threat to the Jewish state,” Johnson says to cheers.

“We’ve heard many echoes of Hamas’s rallying cry ‘From the river to the sea’ and I’m convinced that a lot of these college students who are engaging in these protests do not understand that is an explicit call for the extermination of Israel,” he continues.

“It is unacceptable for any political leader in this nation to give credence to this dangerous rhetoric.”
