Sadiq Khan: ‘From river to sea’ chant is not anti-Semitic
The Telegraph ^ | October 10, 2025 | Daniel Martin

Posted on 10/11/2025 7:52:13 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Sir Sadiq Khan has been called a “disgrace” after he suggested that protesters who chant “From the river to the sea” were not anti-Semitic.

The slogan is frequently chanted at pro-Palestinian marches, despite claims that it envisages the destruction of the state of Israel.

The Mayor of London said that whether the phrase was anti-Semitic or not depended on the context in which it was spoken.

He made his comment during Mayor’s Question Time at City Hall on Thursday, a week after protests that took place on the evening of the Manchester synagogue attack. Susan Hall, the leader of the City Hall Conservatives, said: “Do you think to scream ‘From the river to the sea’, which they’re doing during these hate marches, is appropriate? Do you think it is anti-Semitic?” Sir Sadiq replied: “I don’t think it is anti-Semitic and I think it’s all about context.

“Some slogans can be anti-Semitic, but it’s all about context. And in certain contexts, yes, those slogans are anti-Semitic. In other contexts, they’re not.”

The slogan “From the river to the sea” is normally followed by a second line: “Palestine will be free.”

It is a reference to the land between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea, within which the whole of the state of Israel lies.

Critics say it is a call for the destruction of the Jewish state, but pro-Palestinian groups say it refers to the right of Palestinians in the West Bank as well as Gaza to freedom.

I have heard people who use that also say that the root of the problems goes all the way back to the “Zionist occupation” that started in 1948.

Dear Sir Sad Kase, the problem—your problem— is the phony religion called Islam—that is the problem, jackass liar.

The history of what happened back then isn’t exactly what we’ve been led to believe.

He is also a liar. "From the River to the Sea" has always meant kill the Jews and possess their land. We all know what it means.

He is an obscene man.

I have heard people who use that are full of ______. Ain't no "Zionist occupation". G-d gave Israel to the Jews. EOS.

“that depends on what the meaning of is is”, thus Bill Clinton’s testimony in his Monica Lewinsky sex trial.
