    Isreals crimes against the palestinians needs to be stopped. No question. And yet ‘from the river to the see’ calls for the total destruction of isreal as a state, with all of its civillians, which isn’t exactly better. Hamas commited similar atrocities against the israeli on oct 7. But an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.

      Destruction of the state does not equal destruction of humans. The entire statement is, “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free.” You have to seriously work on that to turn it into a genocidal intent. And then it begs the question, why would their freedom require such a drastic act? Which is why Israel doesn’t like to talk about the second part.

          It’s the reverse (and not any better).

          When you think about it, settler colonialists and native people are just two sides of the same coin.

          from the river to the sea / Palestine will be free

          and

          Between the sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty

          Carry the exact same connotations and historical weight.

      Israel is an invader and occupier of Palestinian land. Israel’s existence is a crime against humanity.
