In the time it took you to find this one demonstration with honestly not that many participant, all of whom young students, cited from inside a twitter thread full of bad faith arguments, we’ve had Benjamin Netanyahu himself use this phrase to mean total Israel control (which at best means colonization or apartheid, or worst genocide against arabs). The difference here is that those are all pretty young students, and have no control over any policy, while Netanyahu is the Prime minister of a country at trial for Genocide. And while this variation of the phrase is definitely nationalistic, in the context of Palestine being colonized by a non-arab population it is probably more in line with “Colonizers go home” as opposed “No Jews allowed”, after all there are Jewish Arabs too. And finally these very same protesters were sprayed with skunk water at the very same demonstration[1]. That really shows how the powerdynamic actually aligns and who is actually at risk.

        This is a 23-day-old flagged story. I get why you wrote all of this! I'd have bristled at that comment too. But it's a shame to be investing energy on a thread that nobody is reading (I am a weirdo and I do not count!).

        I didn't know it was flagged! And I certainly wasn't the one who flagged the above comment I was replying to.
