So some Palestinians shout „from the river to the sea“, sometimes with „Palestine will be free“, sometimes with „we demand equality“. And that slogan is often interpreted as demanding the eradication of Israel.
This lady shouts „from the river to the river“, and means Nile and Euphrates. I guess she’s a bit more ambitious with her expansionist goals and dare I say more explicit about wanting to build an ethnically cleansed empire.

- tasn 3y agoPeople chanting it from both ends of conflict are terrible people, it doesn't need to be just one or the other. Eradication of Jews is bad, eradication of Palestinians is bad. Though to be fair, I think this lady isn't talking about eradication, but rather relocation (also terrible), and Hammas does call for eradication.
