“from the sea to the river”,
“in the space delimited by the river and the sea”,
“from the Jordan river to the Meditarranean Sea” ?

The original phrase was invented by people that wanted to erase Israel and kill all the Jewish people in the Middle East who didn't leave (like to Brooklyn).
Before the British in 1917 the Bedouin, Muslims, Christians, Druse, Samaritans and Jews had all lived there, which was in the Syrian administrative area of the Ottoman Empire. Hence Syria claims Lebanon, Gaza, West Bank, Jordan and Israel as part of Syria. Palestine was invented by the Romans.

hiphopheaven@raymaccarthy @antoinechambertloir @rae the original phrase was a call for a one state solution . The only side who is in the process of exterminating the other is Israel
@hiphopheaven @antoinechambertloir @rae
Currently.
Netanyahu is a criminal.
The Sykes-Picot agreement and then the Nazis changed the pre-WWI status quo.
Hamas & Hezbollah are 100% dedicated, and always have been, to the destruction of Israel & Jewish people.
In 1948 all the neighbouring Arab countries rejected UN proposals and called for the destruction of Israel and killing of Jews. PLO used to publicly have the same view as Hamas.
Yes, Jews & Israel have also done terrible things,
@raymaccarthy @antoinechambertloir @rae jews only had 9% of the land and it was not concentrated in the same area. That means israel couldn't be created without ethrnic cleansing. Even herzl advocated for displacing arabs. A one state solution with equal rights would have saved both jewish and arab lives.
after the formation of a large army in the wake of the establishment of the state, we will abolish partition and expand to the whole of Palestine - ben gurrion
Vinteuil (Le Temps Perdu)@hiphopheaven @raymaccarthy @antoinechambertloir @rae Sure, but no one wanted equal rights back then. Moreover, one only needs to look at the other countries in the region during the 20th century. After independence, equal rights were not particularly established, and Jews continued to face structural discriminatio
@vinteuil_ltp @raymaccarthy @antoinechambertloir @rae this is such bullshit
In 1884 the first Yemenites settled in Silwan and for 45 years lived peacefully and on very good terms with their Arab neighbors. It seemed that the people of Silwan, which was known to be a poor village, found common ground with the poor Jewish Yemenites that lived among them.
@hiphopheaven @raymaccarthy @antoinechambertloir @rae Oh please, you take one example and generalize (+ you could give the source when you quote an article). And you give only one part of the story. Even Wikipedia is more nuanced than that.
@vinteuil_ltp @raymaccarthy @antoinechambertloir @rae my source is israeli not a random wikipedia page
https://emekshaveh.org/en/yemenites/
fact is the region was pretty stable until the European colonizer came and forced a state on the local population with ethenic cleansing
@hiphopheaven @raymaccarthy @antoinechambertloir @rae You know Wikipedia has sources too. That's just cherry-picking.
@hiphopheaven @raymaccarthy @antoinechambertloir @rae Yeah, the region was stable: Jews were discriminated and ghettoized, and sometimes, a pogrom was taking place. No equal rights.
@vinteuil_ltp @raymaccarthy @antoinechambertloir @rae many other minorities faced discrimination even arab revolted against the ottoman because of it
@hiphopheaven @raymaccarthy @antoinechambertloir @rae Yeah, sure. And? Does this mean that because other ones suffer, everyone must accept suffering and not complaining?
@vinteuil_ltp @raymaccarthy @antoinechambertloir @rae no, just like black people in the usa they fought for their right instead of declaring a black dominent state within the USA. You should know that there was jews who believed in that way rather than creating a state by mass displacing people back then too
@hiphopheaven @raymaccarthy @antoinechambertloir @rae Man, that's exactly the story of Liberia. And no one cared about the dramatic civil war which took place at the beginning of the 2000s there.
Yes, I perfectly know there were Jews who were thinking that, especially the Bund. The problem is that they finished in the gas chambers. That's exactly why history is useful: we learn what kind of emancipation strategies don't work, even if they are more attractive.
@vinteuil_ltp it was impossible to evacuate all jews from Germany. So many jews had no choice but to fight in Germany . In other countries non aligned with Germany they would not been gassed, they could have demanded better condition with no mass murder. As history showed us arabs population and jewish population lived together. Even during arab massacres of jews post zionism movement there are other arabs did protect their neighbors and limited the causalities.
@hiphopheaven It was impossible, but no one tried. Do you know what the Evian conference in 1938 was?
And you don't remember the Antisemitic policies from some of the Eastern socialist countries after 1945 if you believe that. Don't you know that in Poland, in 1946, after the death of 95% of the local Jews, there were still pogroms?
No, no, Jewish population and Arab population didn't just "'live together". Jews were segregated and with less rights than Arab populations. You don't want to see the pogroms in the Arab world before and after Israel (and ethnic cleaning of Jews during the whole 20th century).
@vinteuil_ltp like in every godamn region there is period of times where groups lives together and other time fight each others. You seems to conflate a palestinians, with an arabs with a muslims. The ottoman empire was Turkish not arab for example but most progroms are blamed on the palestinians. Those progroms are weaponized to justify the colonisation of Palestinian land. Some progrom also targetted jews and other groups at same time. Who tooks some jews after the reconquista for example?
@hiphopheaven I really don't. I just say that all the other countries in the region ended in ethnic cleaning their local Jews (and this is due to nationalism, not religion). Do you really think it would have been different in Palestine without Israel?
Yeah, during the segregation in the US, you could also find some white people who protected Black people. Does that mean segregation didn't exist?
I totally recognize some countries welcomed Jews after the Reconquista, 3/4 of them went to... the Ottoman empire. You recognize it didn't really prevent the Ottoman empire from doing pogroms.
@vinteuil_ltp the Ottoman empire. You recognize it didn't really prevent the Ottoman empire from doing pogroms
My point is the same empire or country at some point is hostile to a group and in another era is welcoming. Like i already mentionned Palestinians people welcomed yemeni jews but palestinians are always portrayed like they hate all jews for no reason and that there will never be a solution because of it
