The video also accused President Joe Biden of supporting genocide in Gaza and called for a ceasefire.
and Jewish groups say the slogan, used at protests around The World , is a call for the destruction of Israel.
Pro-Palestinian activists argue that Most People using it are calling for an end to Israel's occupation of the West Bank and blockade of Gaza, not the elimination of Israel itself.

The Comment stirred up cross-party condemnation and criticism from allies in her own state, prompting two separate measures seeking to censure her.
Republican Representative Rich Mccormick , who represents Georgia, introduced a resolution on Monday, accusing Ms Tlaib of " calling for the destruction of The State of Israel and dangerously promoting false narratives" about Hamas's attack on Israel.
Twenty-two Democrats joined the vast majority of Republicans voting for Ms Tlaib's censure.
After the vote, Ms Tlaib told The House that her comments were directed at the Israeli government.
" I can't believe I have to say this, but Palestinian people are not disposable. We Are human beings, just like anyone else, " She Said .

The Hamas-run health ministry says that More Than 10,300 Palestinians have since been killed in Israeli attacks.
