Utter nonsense. Just because Israel lies between the river and the sea, doesn't mean the words "from the river to the sea" mean "eliminate Israel". You're completely mental.

Apart from that being literally what it means, sure, it’s nonsense.

Just ask Hamas and any Palestinians and they’ll literally tell you. The only people pretending it doesn’t mean that are bleeding heart “progressives”.

So if I say, "from the Thames to the English channel", you think I'm advocating to wipe out the county of Kent?
Gtfo of here you weirdo.

If that was a widely known slogan made by people that will gladly tell you that they want to wipe out the county of Kent, yes.

It literally means for Israel to cease to exist.

It literally means for Israel to cease to exist.

Just stating the same lie as a fact won't convince anyone with critical thinking faculties, you know?
The only reply this requires is: "No, it doesn't", and I'm done. You are adequately refuted.

In your first sentence you are claiming that the slogan "from the river to the sea" was made by people that will gladly tell you they want to wipe out Israel. I think you will have a very hard time making this case, but by all means, go ahead.

I'm willing to have my mind changed on this, as I am with all things, because I'm always willing to learn. Are you?

Is Israel between the river and the sea or not?

[–] crapwittyname@feddit.uk 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Are you time traveling to last month when that question was still relevant?

[–] FreedomAdvocate 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can you not answer the question?

[–] crapwittyname@feddit.uk 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] FreedomAdvocate 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I’ll take that as a no, you can’t.

[–] crapwittyname@feddit.uk 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So you can't answer the question?

[–] FreedomAdvocate 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You’re the one who still hasn’t answered lol. Maybe give it another month?

[–] crapwittyname@feddit.uk 0 points 2 months ago

Do you know the answer to your question?
