โ€‰'From the river to the sea' is a political slogan that refers geographically to the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, an area also described as Palestine and Eretz Israel, which currently includes Israel and the Israeli occupied Palestinian territories: the West Bank, which includes East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip.
โ€‰
โ€‰ Palestinian progressives use the phrase to call for a united democracy over the whole territory while others say "it's a call for peace and equality after ... decades-long, open-ended Israeli military rule over millions of Palestinians."
โ€‰
This slogan has come under international scrutiny following its usage by various Palestinian factions, particularly since Islamist militant faction Hamas used the phrase in its 2017 charter. The slogan's usage by such Palestinian militant groups has led critics to argue that the slogan implicitly advocates for the dismantling of Israel, and a call for the removal or extermination of the Jewish population. Some countries have considered criminalizing its use.

As there are no Palestinians, there are no Palestinian territories. Just southern Syrians and Israel.

Because they know nothing about it, and have bought into the propaganda.

Indeed the young and dumb prove they can be lead around by their nose ring it’s amazing how the can know so little about so much.

They like being lemmings because it’s a cool.

The West Bank encompasses what were the ancient Israelite kingdoms of Judah and Samaria.

Jews were indigenous to the area at least a millenium or two before islam was invented.

The arabs there, now, trace their roots to settlers that came with the muslim invasion during the crusades, the ottoman empire's annexation and workers that migrated there after Israel's founding.

So...just, who are the "colonizers"???๐Ÿค”๐Ÿคจ
