Hundreds of thousands of protesters gathered in central London on Saturday 11 November, calling for a ceasefire in Israel's war against Hamas. Expected to be the biggest demonstration in a single day over the Israel-Palestine conflict to date, the march began at midday, shortly after an Armistice Day service at the Cenotaph. Scuffles broke out between police and far-right groups opposing the march in a number of locations across the capital, including in Chinatown and Westminster.
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free
Why do right wingers say this chant is antisemitic?
Because they want a reason to be mad.
Because they’re attracted to children.
Because they want to equate zionism and Judaism.

It’s not “from the river to the sea, murder all Jews”, though, now is it?
Seems a bit of a leap, what you’re saying there?
I never said I used it or made any assumptions. This is how some see its inference, which answers the posters question.
You said “it is”. And it’s still a huge leap to infer that the call for freedom of Palestine would require the mass murder of anyone.
The chant doesn’t say anything about harming anyone, and it doesn’t say that Palestine is/shall be the only territory between the river and the sea.
This whole furore about the chant is devoid of logic.
Pretty pathetic pedantism. You need more things to entertain yourself with my friend.
OK, well, “all lives matter” doesn’t mean “black lives don’t matter” BUT we all know what they actually mean. It’s called a dogwhistle. “from the river to the season” is also a dogwhistle, because the term comes from Palestinian organizations and people that want to wipe Israel off the map. You COULD just say “one-state” but that doesn’t have the fun wink-wink that a dogwhistle has.
that isn’t what the linked article says lol.

Conflating antizionism and antisemitism is antisemitic, do not make a similar report again.
