  I was asking if there is one, not asserting that there is. I don’t understand your question.

    Flying Hamas flags, saying "From the river to the sea", and calling for intifada are all antisemitic, not anti-Israel. Being anti-Zionist - but only to the Jews in Israel, and not the Arabs, is also antisemitic (and racist).

      You know the Israeli government has also used the phrase "From the river to the sea", right? "Intifada" just means "uprising"; the original Palestinian intifadas referred to nonviolent work stoppages, protests, etc. The attempt to imply it means something grosser is your ignorance and/or racism. > Being anti-Zionist - but only to the Jews in Israel, and not the Arabs This thought is incoherent. It's like saying Blacks protesting America are also protesting Black Americans.

      "From the river to the sea" was an ISRAELI SLOGAN, by the Likud party since 1977, the party currently in power, that was then re-appropriated by Palestinians. Like many slurs have been throughout history. It's a palestinian response that in essence says "no, you're not going to wipe us all out, we will be free." Also it's very hypocritical, gaslighting, and manipulative to pearl-clutch about "from the river to sea" as Netanyahu (of Likud) and Trump openly plot to displace all Palestinians "from the river to the sea". It's one thing to say it, it's another to do it, as the Israelis are. It shouldn't be surprising though. Likud has openly been saying for the last 50 years this was their plan. Likud still does speeches with images of "Greater Israel" on the lectern. The pearl-clutching and gaslighting is just to paralyze and distract while they execute their land grab and invade the neighboring countries.
