Meta's oversight board ruled that the phrase 'from the river to the sea' does not violate hate speech rules, emphasizing it shows solidarity with Palestinians without promoting violence.
The board clarified that the phrase does not refer to Hamas and should not be interpreted as advocating for violence or exclusion, highlighting its peaceful intent.
Contextually, 'from the river to the sea' is used by pro-Palestinian activists as a call for peace and equality, despite being labeled antisemitic by some pro-Israel groups.
Digital rights activists have criticized Meta for perceived censorship of pro-Palestinian speech, while some Jewish groups argue that Meta has failed to control rising antisemitism on its platform.
