A member of US Congress accused pro-Palestine students of attempting to wipe out the Jewish people after the students demonstrated outside a speech by Vice President, Kamala Harris, last week, as reported by the Washington Free Beacon.

Harris was visiting the University of Michigan last week, and a group called Students Allied for Freedom and Equality held a rally against US aid to the Israeli Occupation in response.

A protester told the crowd that the US was providing “unconditional support to the Zionist entity to continue its ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in occupied territories.”

“Intifada, Intifada, long live the Intifada,” the protester chanted, referring to the Palestinian uprisings from the 1980s to the early 2000s.

“There is only one solution: Intifada revolution,” they chanted.

Footage of the protest was shared by independent journalist, Brendan Gutenschwager, on social media.

After the video went viral, Israeli Occupation media and some American political figures commented that the chants were an invitation to violence.

Boris Rivkin, an adviser to former senator Ted Cruz, called the protesters “violent anti-Semites,” according to Fox News.

Congressman Jared Moskowitz, a Republican from Florida, claimed that the word “solution” purposely echoed Adolf Hitler’s genocide of Jews, which was known as the “Final Solution.”

“Israel has a right to exist. We will never compromise that,” he stated.

“The Jewish people have a right to exist. We will endure,” he added.

However, New York radio host, Rafael Shimunov, defended the students’ chants.

The pro-Palestinian movement “calls for equal rights…not murder,” he wrote in response to a detractor on social media.

He continued saying, “Intifada means resistance, I know Arabic words scare you--but wait till you find out how many Arab Jews there are.”

Faced with escalating Israeli Occupation raids and a new ultra-nationalist Israeli Occupation government, many Palestinians in the occupied territories have been turning towards the types of resistance last seen during the intifada.

A poll last month by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research found that support for armed groups like the Lions’ Den is growing dramatically in the West Bank.
