Oh, is that so? Well let me introduce you to two common chants we've been hearing lately which you are familiar with.
"From river to the sea"
"God Is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, A Curse Upon the Jews, Victory to Islam"
This isn't about territory. This is about anti-semitism. It's not Israel that's the problem to these extremists, it's the jews.
A genocide is what would happen. A real genocide.

Shut the fuck up. Seriously. These people have been suffering apartheid and slow-burn genocide, accelerating to full-blown genocide last year, and they're extremist who have a problem with Jews? Are you even listening to yourself?
The slogan From the River to the Sea is about Palestinian liberation that started in the 60s by the PLO for a democratic secular state, not Genocide. The Syrian leader Hafez al-Assad in 1966 maybe, but he's not Palestinian.
It's absolutely about Zionist Settler Colonialism. Israel has never represented all Jewish people and never will, nor are it's actions done to benefit all Jewish people. The conflation is itself antisemitic. Adi Callai, an Israeli, does a great analysis of how Antisemitism has been weaponized (see 29:01) by Zionism during its history.
