You are Anti-Semitic

They do they just don't care. 99% of US politicians have been or are actively paid by AIPAC to say this stuff which then leads to their supporters parroting it. Chuck Schumer gave the game away when he said "It's my job to keep the left pro isreal."

Modern German political consensus: "Extreme Genocidal Racism isn't the problem, it's choosing the wrong races as subhumans that's the problem"

Realpolitik

Anti-Zionism

I don't have a problem with Jewish people, nor the Jewish nation, nor Judaism, nor the Jewish government (some of them anyway) ....

.... but I have a problem with racist, bigoted, extremist Zionists ..... they've become more like the Jewish Taliban but with nuclear weapons.

It is an emancipatory slogan that calls for an end to apartheid and for equal rights.

Yousef Munayyer, head of the Palestine-Israel program at the Arab Center Washington D.C., has written extensively about the meaning of the slogan before and since Hamas's attacks on Oct. 7, which led to Israel's current bombardment of the Gaza Strip.

"It's an expression of Palestinian nationalism and it's an expression of a demand for Palestinian freedom or self-determination," said Waxman. "I think Palestinian self-determination need not come at the expense of Jewish self-determination. Nor do I think Palestinian freedom has to be considered a threat to Jewish rights."

Simply put, the majority of Palestinians who use this phrase do so because they believe that, in 10 short words, it sums up their personal ties, their national rights and their vision for the land they call Palestine. And while attempts to police the slogan’s use may come from a place of genuine concern, there is a risk that tarring the slogan as antisemitic – and therefore beyond the pale – taps into a longer history of attempts to silence Palestinian voices.

The use of the phrase “from the river to the sea” has come under particular scrutiny in the last three months. When Palestinians, or anyone on the left, has used the phrase to demand a free Palestine—as in the popular chant, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”—those on the right have disingenuously argued that it is calling for the death of all Jewish people in Israel.

In 2021, the Palestinian-American writer Yousef Munayyer argued that those who saw genocidal ambition in the phrase, or indeed an unambiguous desire for the destruction of Israel, did so due to their own Islamophobia.

It was instead, he argued, merely a way to express a desire for a state in which “Palestinians can live in their homeland as free and equal citizens, neither dominated by others nor dominating them”.

Preventing any possibility of a Palestinian state has always been Israel’s policy, one that the settlement building in the Occupied Territories is meant to ensure. This policy has been intensified under Benjamin Netanyahu, who in January 2024 publicly vowed to resist any attempt to create a Palestinian state and to maintain Israeli control from the river to the sea.

It is often maintained that the slogan ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’ expresses a genocidal and antisemitic intention. But this is generally not the case. On the contrary, the slogan has historically been used to articulate a wide variety of political strategies for Palestinian liberation

Denying such demands seems as self-evident to most Israeli Jews as the air they breathe. It is this denial that has led to the dehumanization of Palestinians and has culminated in the genocidal mood that is prevailing in Israeli Jewish society today and in the assault taking place now in Gaza. This should be viewed as the real problem and not the legitimate chant of ‘from the river to the sea: Palestine will be free’.

They sure do. Who is currently massacring their people, bombing hospitals, and carving up their land for luxury resorts? I’m happy to protest that aggressor nation.

Fun fact, their right to exist does not permit genocide.

Uh... No? Countries don't have a right to exist in general. People have a right to self-determination, but this is one thing and that's another. Again, no country has a right to exist.

Countries do not have a right to exist, particularly not if they want to exist on some other people's land. Furthermore, why doesn't this apply to a state for Palestinians having a right to exist? Not that I want that, it is doomed to fail like Pakistan and India. They all need to learn to get along and give people equal rights

Not like this. Frankly not like they’ve been for a very long time, the Israeli government is just super overt about it now.

This is what happens when people think governments have natural rights.
