Is this Freedom ?
Shocker. The whole idea that organized retail theft is a hunongous scourge on retail apparati stems from a single testimony… from a cop. No data, no evidence. One piece of testimony.
From a fucking cop.

Re “dumb hearings”: “Mission accomplished!” So far, so good! (Penn Prez out)
so the river to the sea shit is basically a group that is actively trying to eliminate a group of people from a certain area mad at another group bc they are talking about trying to eliminate a group of people from a certain area? that’s just swell.
Vox has a good article on this and this part was the best explanation I have seen:
“From the river to the sea” has become a set of words where different people have decided that it means different things. It’s usage is basically guaranteed to inflame people on both sides, so that’s how people are using it.

i’ve fought this fight so hard and so long on the other site…
it was so obvious
It’s incredibly frustrating to see the conversation monopolized by what is essentially a trolling semantic game, with arguments over who really meant what and people deliberately misconstruing what’s being argued for. Just say what you mean and run with that, if you think Israel should be wiped off the map,just say so. If not, stop using slogans that will be construed as such.

It seems to me that extremists on both sides benefit from the ambiguity.

Says more about Congress than it does the phrase
Another version of a singular state — the one envisioned by some activists Vox spoke to who use the “from the river to the sea” phrase — is a pluralistic, secular, democratic one in which Palestinians, Jewish Israelis, and all citizens would live in political equality.
Meaning that Palestinians in Gaza will be Israeli citizens with equal rights?
Yes, also known as a one state solution.
posting here because horseshoe theory is real. Also, possible recruitment opportunity!
