Rallying cry or hate speech? What ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’ means

“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”

To some, it’s a cry for the repatriation of a people kicked to the outskirts of a land they call home. To others, it’s a genocidal refrain, verbalizing a desire to purge the Jews from Israel.

The Star assures us it’s not genocidy at all, well maybe a wee bit but that’s OK.
