They shout 'from the river to the sea' but don't know which: A fascinating survey of Bal supporters

In yesterday's “Leek Soup,” we discussed the legitimacy—or otherwise—of a protester's conviction. Pro–By GodAs happened in Germany because of their chanting of the slogan “From the river to the sea.” A catchy phrase that symbolizes the protests against Israel, but with a very clear meaning: the elimination of Jews from the Middle East. In our position, in times of pandemic, when do we think differently? It was a crime regardless.We have hosted the most diverse opinions of our choosing. Even those who are immediately labeled as “unvaccinated” or undeserving of representation. Our opening freedom of expression It is the maximum.

on He presses yesterday Flavia Perina He wondered whether it made sense to fine a German anti-Israel activist. We would have liked the Turin paper to have also been scandalized by the real censorship that the non-aligned epidemics have been subjected to, or to have remained present, to denounce the ostracism against scientists who do not accept the dogma of global warming caused by the white man. Western. But that is another story.

While Perina ponders the opportunity to punish those who shout “From the river to the sea”, in the same newspaper Hessy Newman Diane “This is a call to wipe out Israel,” he says. “Yes, it is a crime, and no, it is not a legitimate position. It happens that we have illegitimate positions, we just have to take responsibility for them.” But that is not the point. Today we were surprised to read a poll that we had partially missed. It dates back to last December, and Dayan herself admits it. When Wall Street Journal Commissioning a survey among 250 students to understand how many were aware of what they were shouting in support of the idea of ​​“From the river to the sea,” only 47% knew which river and which sea it was about. “But it sounds so good,” Dayan concludes, “how can you not sing it, even if you think the river is the Euphrates and the sea is the Dead Sea, which is not even a sea. Less than a quarter of them know who Arafat is, and more than 10% think he is an Israeli prime minister. I am convinced that the slogan has spread because it resembles an advertising jingle: it rhymes, it is easy, and it takes up little space in the Instagram carousel.”
