Criticism
The phrase has been claimed by some Jewish interest groups, such as the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee argue that the slogan is anti-zionist and therefore antisemitic, defining the slogan as incitement to commit genocide against jews. These groups argue that the slogan not only calls for peace in Palestine but also for the removal of the State of Israel equating the phrase to hate speech which makes some members of the Jewish community or people affiliated with Israel feel ostracized and unsafe.

Other academics, such as Yousef Munayyer and University of Arizona professor Maha Nassar, have argued that the chant is "part of a larger call to see a secular democratic state established in all of historic Palestine" and that the opposing persuasive definition relies on racist and Islamophobic assumptions.

Several prominent figures and politicians have received critism for using the phrase. American academic Marc Lamont Hill was criticised for using the phrase during a speech at the UN resulting in his firing from his position as a political commentator for CNN. British Member of Parliament Andy McDonald was suspended from the Labour Party after using the phrase at a pro-Palestine rally. Similarly, in the United States, Representative Rashida Tlaib was censured by the House of Representative, in part, for sharing a social media video containing the phrase with the censure itself receiving criticism.
