Israel's Vision of No Palestinians 'From The River To The Sea'

Article by Sahar Aziz examines how pro-Israel advocates criticize the phrase “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” labeling it as antisemitic, while overlooking Israeli government policies that aim to establish control over the same territory emptied of Palestinians. It highlights that many students view the slogan as a call for freedom and equality for both Palestinians and Israelis within the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. The author argues that organizations like the Anti-Defamation League and others fail to acknowledge the Israeli government’s own vision of controlling the entire region, effectively excluding Palestinians.
