    For sure. I will scream fuck Hamas until my voice goes hoarse.

    The problem is the grey zone where it there is no clear line. Is using the word “genocide” crossing a line? Is using a rhetorical inversion of that line from Likud’s 1977 manifesto (“from the river to the sea”) crossing a line? Is “free Palestine” crossing a line? I don’t think so. But the article has examples like that.

        It takes a very fearful settler mentality to interpret “will be free” as “murder the Jews”. In particular the kind of mentality that would write something like “the establishment of a “Palestinian State,” jeopardizes the security of the Jewish population” (same manifesto).

        On the other hand “between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty” is very very explicit.

        Talking points? I don’t know. When someone says who they are, believe them.
