ADL-Stop and Think: Anti-Israel Chants and What They Mean

It is time to make another donation to the ADL



https://www.adl.org/resources/blog/stop-and-think-anti-israel-chants-and-what-they-mean

1. If you hear people chanting “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free…” here’s what it means:

This is a cry for Israel to not exist. It is calling for a Palestinian state that extends from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea – effectively erasing and destroying the entire Jewish state.

2. If you hear people calling for “resistance by any means necessary,” here’s what is being said:

This is support for terrorism. Saying “by any means necessary,” especially after October 7, indicates support, justification, and championing of violence and murder of civilians as a form of so-called resistance. Hamas’ “means” have included brutal torture and kidnapping of innocents, including babies and the elderly.

3. If you see a flyer related to Hamas’ war on Israel that features an image of a paraglider, here’s what that represents:

It’s glorifying the terrorists who used paragliders to infiltrate Israel on October 7, 2023 to massacre, kidnap, mutilate and brutalize thousands of people. There is no other meaning of these images.

Also, is Palestinian an ethnic group? Arabs certainly are, but how are Palestinians and "ethnic group"?

that some people are trying to pass off regarding the chant from the river to the sea.

No one with more than 2 brain cells at least.

There are TOO many people falling for it, repeating, and defending it, including the gaslighting happening here.
