Anyone seen the video where the police officer says a swastika is not anti-Semitic at a pro Palestine March?

I completely accept that many use the phrase in support of peace but let’s not pretend it hasn’t become a contentious slogan.

From Wikipedia
The phrase was popularised among the Palestinian population in the 1960s as a call for liberation from living under the military occupation of Israel.[6] In the 1960s, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) used it to call for a democratic secular state encompassing the entirety of Mandatory Palestine, which was initially stated to only include the Palestinians and the descendants of Jews who had lived in Palestine before 1947, although this was later revised to only include descendants of Jews who had lived in Palestine before the first Aliyah.[7] Thus, by 1969, "Free Palestine from the river to the sea" came to mean "one democratic secular state that would supersede the ethno-religious state of Israel".[7][8]
Palestinian progressives have used the phrase to call for a united democracy over the whole territory,[9] whilst others have called it "a call for peace and equality after [...] decades-long, open-ended Israeli military rule over millions of Palestinians."[10] Islamist militant faction Hamasused the phrase in its 2017 charter. Usage of the phrase by such Palestinian militant groups has led critics to argue that it implicitly advocates for the dismantling of Israel, and a call for the removal or extermination of the Jewish population of the region.[8][10]

I think you are being very disingenuous in your claim that this phrase is not provocative in intent.
We know context changes meanings of words and particular words shift meaning or become loaded with certain associations over time.
Calling people “geographically challenged “ for finding the phrase provocative is in itself provocative.

Is this aimed at me? If it is, please make it clear!

That seems like reaching. And very unlikely. Or are we to discuss every unlikely scenario so you can prove your point?
Geez.

Would it have been ok if a pro Israeli government protestor had projected it, instead? I believe this phrase is also used by the Israeli government.

Here's a list of the teenagers names for you, and others killed.

Shame on you all.
A plague on both your houses.

Yes, and the realease of hostages can’t happen without a permanent ceasefire.
Not with IDF kill zones where they are killing anyone they see, unarmed or not, Palestinian or Israeli or foreign aid worker/journalist/medic from abroad.

I think you may be in a geographically challenged minority that thinks

1. that the top of Israel is bounded by the Jordan river and the bottom the Mediterranean Sea. And
2. they are the only country that is bordered by both the Jordan river and the Mediterranean.

You might want to look at a few maps before claiming to understand anything.

That was an earlier poster claiming that there was only one meaning:
”Because it means that the area from the River and the sea should be Palestine. E.g. the destruction of Israel.”

Ask them for evidence, or present it yourself instead of objecting to my objection of an extraordinary claim that isn’t reflected at all in any reputable source.

Ok, you seem very distressed by the horrors of the war and that is understandable. I think everyone is. No one wants it.

But this post is based on a lot of things that aren't true.

The Kingdom of Israel existed on that land since the 9th century BCE alongside Judah. It's not a country that never was. There was a bit of back and forth, Jews got banished to Babylon, got sent back to Judah (return to Zion - hence Zionism) rebuilt the temple that had been destroyed. Then there were a number of wars.

Hadrian came along, killed the vast majority of Jews and renames the whole area Syria Palestina.

However, a population of Jewish people remained in the area, being persecuted on and off by various ruling powers in a variety of different ways, often having to display their Jewishness (yellow belt, golden calf symbol etc.).

Other Jews who had left the area get occasionally persecuted and expelled from various countries (there's a map around somewhere, it's almost weirdly impressive how many countries Jews have been expelled from). In the 1400 the Ottoman empire actually invited Jews to return to the area, after they got expelled from some European countries which made a nice change.

There's another significant migration of Jewish people back to the area is the 1700s too. Then again in the late 1800s. Unsurprisingly, elsewhere in the world, they were not being treated particularly well.

Obviously then there is the situation around the Ottoman empire and the mandate etc. and the people who moved due to this especially after the events of the second world war. Then the people who moved after it.

So which ones should "go home" and where to? Many people who live in Israel have ties to that area going back many hundreds of years.

This is an extraordinarily ignorant post for someone who claims to lead discussions on the topic with the schoolchildren they teach. I hope the post is removed.

Considering it's a teacher.
Substitute the word Israeli to Jewish.
Substitute Jewish for black
Substitute black for Asian.
Would her predujice be tolerated..

Do you know the names of the teenagers who were shot by Hamas when at a festival? I saw lots of dead and shot Israeli teens on TV. One of the released hostages was raped and they were kept in appalling conditions. Many hostages are still held captive. How do you defend that? There is fault on both sides but on October 7th Hamas broke the fragile peace. It won't be restored as long as they keep hold of the hostages. Yet they still won't release them. Why don't you hate Hamas?

The scary part of this is those opinions are held by a teacher and they are far from coherent and just come across as a hate filled rant.to hate a nationality because what a government does is absurd.

What is needed is for the Israeli hostages to be released. Imagine how their families must feel. It's been so long but they are not forgotten.

Because everyone knows the river at the top of country to the sea at the bottom means they want to take over the whole country and obliviate all Jews out of country. Don't pretend you don't understand this.

It’s deeply worrying. I hope the children they teach are not being influenced or harmed by that hate.

The appalling Nazi regime was aiming at extermination of an entire race, Hitler wanted world domination of the Ayran race. There is no parallel

So you hate Israelis...you said that in an earlier post. But you have now caveated that by saying not babies and children. So at what age would you start to hate them?

Thank you for your calm and thoughtful responses. It’s a terrible situation and it’s so understandable that people feel emotional and angry so it’s good to have calm voices

They also stated that they hate Israelis. What if they had an Israeli pupil? I'm not sure I want any teachers to actively hate an entire nation.

You're the one claiming that a consensus had so.ehow been reached at some unspecified time by some unspecified majority.
