“From the river to the sea” is a Pro-Palestinian slogan. I don’t think it’s anti-semetic. Anti-Israel sure, but that’s not an inherently bad or negative thing depending on your frame of reference. If you come from a country that has been suffering from colonization historically or even significant occupation for a long period, there is nothing wrong with calling for the destruction of the occupation regime.
Thing is, Israel is leading a global campaign to weaponize western democracies’ protection of minorities, in order to quell any criticism of its apartheid policies. Hence the push too label as antisemitism calls for a free Palestine, calls for a boycott of Israel, calls for the end of the genocide in Gaza. You see that in the UK, in US universities, in France.
“From the river to the sea” apparently comes from the original slogan من المية للمية فلسطين عربية, which literally means “from the water [of the river] to the water [of the sea), Palestine will be Arab.” It’s been used in a number of different contexts, from Western groups that advocate for a single secular democratic state for Jews and Arabs, to groups advocating for Jewish elimination from the region.
I don’t get it, headline seems reasonable.
