Americans For A Safe Israel endorsed the UK Chief Rabbi's call to outlaw the slogan 'Death to the IDF,' arguing it is direct incitement to murder. The group urged similar congressional action in the United States.
Americans For A Safe Israel, a pro-Israel advocacy group, has endorsed UK Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis's call to outlaw the chant 'Death to the IDF' in an op-ed published via Jewish Breaking News on Monday. The group argues the phrase constitutes direct incitement to murder and is not protected political speech. Mirvis warned the slogan effectively calls for the destruction of millions of Jews, since the IDF exists to defend Israel's population. The group urged the U.S. Congress to take similar action. The campaign comes amid a broader debate over the line between political protest and incitement directed at Israeli soldiers and civilians.
