“From the river to the sea” is a chant about Israel stopping to exist and be replaced with a Muslim Palestinian regime. Guess what happens to Jews under Muslim regimes. It sounds sweet until you listen to what their leaders are calling for.
There’s really no way to twist it to be about peace and freedom. It’s a genocidal chant.
Arab Jews and Arab Muslims lived peacefully together in the region for centuries prior to Zionism. Acting like they have to kill each other is part of the issue. They do not. This isn’t about religious groups that are required to hate each other, it’s about power hungry people using religion to make people hate each other for their benefit.
The hatred between Arabs and Jews isn’t natural, but it is real. The destruction of Israel would likely mean conditions for the Israelis quite similar to what the Palestinians endure now. (loss of land/ homes, political repression, official discrimination, refugees, and migration) I get the hypocrisy of Zionists calling it genocide when it happens to them, but swapping the oppressed and the oppressors isn’t a solution. It wouldn’t undo 1948, it’d redo 1948.
Does anybody wanna see what happens when there is mass migration of Jews into the West? Does anybody want to see what Israel will do with her nukes?
This is what people of good-faith mean when they say “it’s complicated”. The war crimes are simple; that the violence must stop is simple; but simple solutions are an illusion.
