Many Western politicians demonise pro-Palestinians who chant “From the river to the sea”.
But they keep silent when Zionist Israelis use the slogan, which is at the heart of the ideology of Israel’s ruling Likud party.
"The right of the Jewish people to the land of Israel is eternal and indisputable… therefore, Judea and Samaria will not be handed to any foreign administration; between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty."Source: 'It’s Time to Confront Israel’s Version of “From the River to the Sea”' by Rashid Khalidi in The Nation
—Likud Party Platform, 1977
