„ The phrase was also used by the Israeli ruling Likud party as part of their 1977 election manifesto which stated "Judea and Samaria will not be handed to any foreign administration; between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty." This slogan was repeated by Menachem Begin.“

The swastika (卐 or 卍) is an ancient religious and cultural symbol, predominantly in various Eurasian, as well as some African and American cultures. In the West it is widely recognized for having been appropriated by the Nazi Party and by neo-Nazis

Context matters

    Ah, and you mean when Netanyahu „displaying a ‘map of Israel’ that straddles the entire land from the river to the sea, negating Palestine and its people“[0], it‘s in good faith, but when the Palestinians chant „from the river to the see“, they are not talking about equal rights within Israel for the 20% arab population in a state that defines itself as the state of the jews, meaning even the ones living somewhere in the world. And you also think they don’t mean occupied West Bank, where there is military rule for 3mil Palestinians, but civilian rule for Settlers who have built 700,000 settlements on Palestinian land? Do you also believe they don’t mean the siege of Gaza for over 15 years? So you mean they are just hateful people, have nothing else to do but have a desire to kill jewish people for the sake of committing a Genocide?
