The independent Oversight Board for Instagram and Facebook ruled Wednesday that the phrase “from the river to the sea” is not necessarily hate speech when addressing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Hamas has long called for the destruction of Israel. Other pro-Palestinian activists say the phrase refers to general solidarity or to a proposed return to pre-1967 borders. Of the three cases at hand, one involved a post with about 8 million views. It depicted the phrase made with a series of floating watermelon slices, a common pro-Palestinian symbol. That post was reported 951 times by 937 users, according to the Oversight Board. The other two cases were viewed by far fewer people.
