U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s defense of a phrase used by Palestinians in connection with the war between Israel and Hamas is drawing condemnation from critics, including two prominent fellow Democrats — Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin.

    There are only two ways to interpret the sentence “from river to sea”, and one is a call for genocide, and the other is a pipe dream. The only scenario that ends without a genocide in some form is the two states solution.

      Two state solution also involves either genocide or pipe dream? There are so many Israel-backed settlers in Palestine.

      You could have a genocide-free one-state solution. Many states have both Jewish and Islamic citizens. It’s not that hard.

          If the colonists and the current troop movements in Gaza prove anything, the two state solution have been delusional for the last 20 years.

          What it does, however is deny the statement “I believe that Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish state”, which is supposedly antisemitic.

    “From the River to the Sea!” comes from the same mindset as “Blood and Soil”. They’re both abhorrent and neither should be used.

    How is it so hard to understand that “from the river to the sea” is about a one state solution? A state for jews and arabs to live in peace like they did before british colonization. Nobody wants to read shit from palestinian resistance scholars or fighters, they just want to project religious extremism when in reality Israel is a religious ethnostate
