Best of luck, I guess?

What’s the next step for the intercept, “From the river to the seas” in their front page?

[–] Kwakigra 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It would be nice if everyone serious about human rights said so. The Intercept has already discussed this phrase with Marc Lamont Hill.

I stand with the people who think things like what the radical right wing secular government of Israel is inflicting on innocents should never happen again. There's another explanation of the phrase in that link, and it's the same explanation used by anyone who is in support of human rights.

Do you know the original quote, in arab, and its literal translation? The original version states: palestine will be arab, not free. It’s a hate slogan, diluted so that dumb westerners will parrot it.

Be smarter

I made a good faith effort to research this claim you made but I couldn't find anything other than a reddit post making the same claim. Where did you hear this? Also, how would it be relevant to anything I've linked or said?

[–] khalic 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m looking for a source and can’t find anything high quality enough for now. I thought this was common knowledge, since it’s being chanted during protests in arabic all around the world.

Then, I’m sorry for the harsh tone, not every one understands arabic.

[–] Kwakigra 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't understand any dialect of arabic. If you are a Palestinian arabic speaker, can you explain how Wikipedia's direct translation of "from the water to the water" is misleading?

[–] khalic 2 points 1 year ago

I’m no expert in Palestinian Arabic sorry, and relied on a friend for the exact translation

That's such nonsense... Like Israel answers to Biden anyways.

This is exactly what Hamas wanted from what I've been reading. They set themselves up so that anyone who wanted to come after them would have to commit atrocious acts. Ugh.

Would be kind of interesting if they sue in a red State. Or it goes to the Trump Supreme Court. And why not sue them in Genova?
