Redditors think that "From The River to The See Palestine will be free" is anti-Semitic genocidal hate speech bruh. No it's about freedom from colonialism and opression.

@trans_caracal have you never heard that phrase used as an explicit demand that Jews be killed?

Because I sure have.

Your statement comes across as akin to those saying swastikas don't necessarily represent bad things because the symbol predated certain bad things.

Yes, maybe there are multiple ways to interpret the phrase, but just keep in mind that the phrase has represented explicit genocidal hate speech quite often.

@volkris No that's smear campaign directed by people who are opposed to Palestinian liberation. Go figure. Chief among those is ADL Zionist shill.

@trans_caracal I love that I asked whether you are informed, and your reply is basically leaning really hard into ignorance, proudly sharing that you don't know this background.

I don't know whether I am sorry or not that you haven't had that breadth of experience, but if you had more experience in this topic then you might have a different opinion.

Ignorance is bliss, as they say. Confirmation bias is warm and fluffy. The real world is more complicated and has sharp points.

I'd encourage you to expand your worldview, but you do you.

@trans_caracal again, I would suggest that you see more of the world, expand your experiences.

No, I'm not a liar. I can bring references for anything I say.

If you think what I'm saying is false, that just really reflects that you haven't seen enough of the world, that you're view is very constrained to whatever echo chambers you have engaged in.

Broaden your world view! Question your authorities! There's a big wide world out there.

@trans_caracal thank you for making into a lovely place for discussion and education.
