  SENATE RESOLUTION 497--TO EXPRESS THE SENSE OF THE SENATE THAT THE 
 SLOGAN ``FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE'' AND ITS 
DERIVATIONS ARE ANTISEMITIC AND A CALL FOR GENOCIDE AND THE DESTRUCTION 
                          OF THE JEWISH STATE

  Mr. COTTON (for himself, Mr. Hagerty, Mr. Barrasso, Mrs. Britt, Mr. 
Scott of Florida, Mr. Ricketts, Mr. Rubio, Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Boozman, 
Mr. Budd, Mrs. Blackburn, Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Cramer, Mr. Thune, Mrs. 
Fischer, Mr. Graham, Mr. Tuberville, and Mr. Lankford) submitted the 
following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the 
Judiciary:

                              S. Res. 497

       Resolved,

     SECTION 1. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE MEANING OF THE 
                   SLOGAN ``FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE 
                   WILL BE FREE''.

       It is the sense of the Senate that the slogan ``From the 
     river to the sea, Palestine will be free'' and its 
     derivations are antisemitic and a call for genocide and the 
     destruction of the Jewish state.
