Chlöe Swarbrick says it's abhorrent to suggest she supports the destruction of Israel.
The Green MP is under fire for chanting 'from the river to the sea' at a pro-Palestine rally on the weekend.
The phrase has been used since the 1960s to advocate for freeing Palestine from Israel's occupation.
The Jewish Council says it's anti-Semitic.
Swarbrick says she decries anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and violence in all forms.
"The pathway forward for ongoing peace means justice. That means an immediate ceasefire, a return of hostages on all side and a recognition of humanity and shared rights of Palestinians."
