> "From the river to the sea, palestine will be free" implies a desire to see freedom not genocide.
To read it literally (and choose one of many possible literal interpretations), doesn't work in this situation, if it ever works. It's not a statement someone just now made up on the spot in an isolated context; it's a slogan in an extremely politicized situation, with many years of history and meaning upon it.
It absolutely works.
If you want to play join the dots from slogan to genocidal racism, Netanyahu's references to Amalak is what you are looking for.
