It's pretty easy to interpret "from the river to the sea" as the extermination of Israel. It's also easy for those who define Intifada at face value when they say that only with the death of every Jew will the Second Intifada be complete.
This is like people stating in 2000 that when Bin Ladin said Jihad against America, it didn't count - he was talking about Big Jihad and not small Jihad.

- wolverine876 3y agoMashaal's quote doesn't say anything about extermination. Hamas' manifestos also claim the land (and so do many Jewish Israeli groups and, afaik, their manifestos) and rule of it. But where is there advocacy of extermination? Could you point to where that very long survey supports your claim? I read and skimmed parts, and searched for some words, but didn't find it.
