On the other hand, according to the organizers, "to make visible and denounce the companies and institutions of Euskal Herria that directly or indirectly collaborate with the occupation of the Palestinian people and genocide ".
From river to sea has been presented as a "denunciation, mobilization and internationalist solidarity tool" that strengthens the commitment of broad social sectors of the Basque Country to human rights and the Palestinian cause.
