We keep letting in people who do not share our values and are aligned with Islamic terrorists
From the river to the sea is an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, or hate. My work and advocacy is always centered in justice and dignity for all people no matter faith or ethnicity.

You get this
She, like so many, tries to gaslight on the saying. In full it goes “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”. It came about in the late 1940’s after the creation of Israel, and Palestinians were not happy. That’s understandable. It was less involved with religion and more about land back then, and it was, in fact, a call to replace Israel with an Arab nation of Palestinians. This was later adopted by the Palestinian Liberation Organization, a recognized terrorist organization who was bent on destroying Israel and kicking out the Jews. It has been adopted by many after to mean exactly that. Hamas has fully adopted it and their meaning is exactly to remove the Jews from Israel by any means necessary.
I don’t always agree with James Joyner, but, he makes a good point
In a new-deleted post, a scholar associated with the Harvard Kennedy School asserted that pro-Palestinian protestors who have no desire to see Israeli Jews harmed were carrying signs with the slogan “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”
I responded, “Is there a version of ‘From the river to the sea’ that doesn’t end the existence of a Jewish state?”
To which he immediately replied, “I am not going to engage in this kind of convo.” (snip)
I don’t think my initial assertion was antagonistic, or even controversial. Any search for a history of the phrase “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is anti-Zionist. Most are from Jewish-leaning sites, where it’s painted as an eliminationist slogan. The most forgiving, pro-Palestinian accounts portray it as a call for a single Palestine in which Arabs and Jews can live together in peace. But, even if we take that version at face value, it, by definition, means the end of a Jewish state.
Even the most optimistic versions, which are what you mostly get when searching because of the algorithms, end with Palestinians in charge of all of Israel. Yeah, they might be letting Jews stick around (they won’t), but, they will be 2nd class citizens in what Hamas and others want to be a Muslim nation. Just like their backers in Iran.

How did it come to have Islamic extremists in the United State Congress? Let’s not forget that these Islamists also despise the U.S.
