    It is genocidal when either side uses it, since it implies that the other side does not exist. It is a catchy phrase though, which is why both sides use it.

      Depends how it’s used. I’ve seen both israeli and palestinian activists say “from the river to the sea we demand equality” further referencing a one state solution

      It doesn’t imply that, no. The ONLY people claiming that it implies the other side doesn’t exist are bad-faith actors, and people ignorant of the fact that they got their info from bad faith actors, period. No one on the Palestinian side is saying they want to eradicate the other side, only individuals on the Israeli side have said so thus far, and they say it regularly.
