They are offended at the call to kill all Jews (how they see the phrase).
Right but that goes to the second category. There are two groups: the performative ones and the tricked ones. Because the phrase doesn’t mean “kill all Jews”. That’s a lie made up by Israel propaganda to justify the genocide.
“All lives matter” was a phrase deliberately used to undermine the notion that “black lives matter”. That’s not what’s going on here. “From the river to the sea” is the equivalent of black lives matter. It’s the call for freedom against oppression.
It’s not really a stretch tho is it. Chants of ‘death to Israel’, ‘death to America’ are common in the Arab world. Or do those have some nice meaning too?
Different chants made in different countries are not relevant to “from the river to the sea” chanted in Australia. Your comment is a complete non-sequitur.
‘From the river to the sea …’ is also chanted in Gaza and other places. Yes different people interpret it differently. But the key point is that a significant number of people see it as a call for the destruction of Isreal and the genocide of the Jews there. So if you don’t want that to be what you are saying, then avoid the phrase. Or don’t, whatever, but suck it up if you are then labeled as a genocide supporter.
