I got down voted last time for pointing out that "between the river and the sea" was the motto of the town of mosman park
Yes, if you change the words and the context, the meaning changes.
"From the river to the sea" is the rallying cry of various groups who want to destroy Israel and remove the people who were born and live there, even though the slogan doesn't literally say it.
So maybe use a different slogan if you want something different?
It's not surprising that antisemites would also protest Israel, but that doesn't mean we should stop protesting Israel. There's nothing more to it. We should not fall for our opponent's tricks trying to paint us as antisemites
Isn’t the left saying that if you let one Nazi into a bar you now have a Nazi bar? Same applies here. There are many anti-Semites in these protests chanting this saying, therefore everyone there is an anti-Semite.
This isn’t me making the rules, it’s just applying the rules the left set and try to force on everyone.
