Plain-language change summary

The revised version of H. Res. 883 expands on the original resolution by adding specific points that elaborate on the implications of the slogan "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free." It now includes statements that describe the slogan as not only antisemitic but also divisive, harmful to peace efforts, and perpetuating hatred against Israel and the Jewish people. This added context provides a clearer rationale for the resolution's condemnation of the slogan.
