Short(ish) version- "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” pro-Palestinian activists from London to Rome and Washington chanted in the volatile aftermath of Israel’s bloodiest day. Adopting or defending it can be costly for public figures, such as U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who was censured by the House on Tuesday.

That's the bit he said said he did understand
TLDR; Hamas adopted the slogan in 2012. Jewish people say it is a call to genocide saying "Have no doubt that Hamas is cheering those ‘from the river to the sea’ chants, because a Palestine between the river to the sea leaves not a single inch for Israel."
Edit: This post sums it up pretty well.
It is a call to genocide, because Hamas is an openly genocidal organization, just like the current government of Israel.
