A Jewish person hearing that chant, what they hear is not free Palestine, when they hear "from the river to the sea" what they hear is "kill all the Jews"

I won't get involved in the debate and protests and all that, how you feel about Israel/Palestine, that is up to you. I don't want to start a whole thing (especially with the new board rules). So this is just about the chant.

At the very least I wish people would not gleefully chant this when it is something that to a Jewish person feels like a crowd is gleefully chanting for their death. It sounds like you want to destroy Israel and everybody in it (Hamas uses this phrase, for the record).

Despite what people may think about my stances from how I've argued here, I also have gone on the other side and argued to my Jewish family about the validity of the protests. But when you read this it's hard to not feel upset.
