'From the river to the sea': Why these 6 words spark fury and passion over the Israel-Hamas war

[Igel]

64. We start the clock in 1948.

I start the clock earlier.

I know about what amounts to ethnic cleansing of Hebron. Of a pogrom in Palestine in the '20s. Of the Grand Mufti's "open air prison" he helped produce ... for Jews ... in the '40s.

The early '40s resulted from the '30s, the late '40s from the late '30s and early '40s. We claim that Hamas is a result of history. But so is Netanyahu.

Then after hate for centuries in Muslim and European countries, the late '40s resulted in an attempt at a 2nd Holocaust, then in '50 or so more Jews ethnically cleansed and impoverished because of Muslim hate than Arabs relocated from the Naqba. Remember, more Jews fled Arab lands where they'd lived for centuries than came from Europe post-Holocaust. More Israelis are "Middle Eastern" than they are "European." "Go back to Poland" is like a Klansman telling a black man to "go back to Nigeria."


It's Hanukkah, day 1. A celebration of Jews fighting for a homeland against aggressors that invaded their lands. Gee, it means Jews are more "indigenous" to Palestine than Arabs. This was 1000 years before the Islamic Conquest.

Happy Hanukkah.
