When pro-Palestinian protesters chant "Palestine from the river to the sea," they are really calling for the "extermination of the Jewish state," one former counterterrorism coordinator warned.
"They think that Israel shouldn't exist at all," Nathan Sales told "Sunday Night in America." "This is exterminationist rhetoric and our First Amendment means that we have to tolerate this kind of speech, but the antidote for that kind of abhorrent speech is more speech. We need to expose what these Hamas sympathizers are really all about."
Several American cities have seen protests against Israel by pro-Palestinian supporters since the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas. Instead of condemning Hamas, many have spoken out against Israel for military operations in besieged territory, citing civilian casualties.
Sales said now is the time Americans must "stand strong with Israel."
"The attack ... [is] the worst day for Israel in its 75-year history. It's the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust. We've said, ‘Never again.’ Well, now is the time to show that we mean it and the way you show that you mean it is at least being out in the streets and showing support for Jews who are now looking over their shoulders and fearing for their lives."
Sales called on the Biden administration to give their Middle Eastern ally the "diplomatic space it needs."
"Israel has suffered one of the deadliest terrorist attacks the world has ever seen," he told FOX News. "It needs to degrade and destroy Hamas to the point that it's no longer capable of threatening it militarily or acting as a quasi-government in Gaza. So, what we've heard from the administration is helpful words, but now it's time to see helpful deeds."

Pro-Hamas protests show how higher education has finally crossed the line.

With the horrific massacre, rapes and infant murders and kidnappings Hamas proudly perpetrated in Israel, much of the American academic community, especially at elite universities, sided with . . . Hamas.
It is not playing well:
Harvard has been the most talked-about example, because, well, it’s Harvard.
Harvard students have since deleted their statement, though it still lives on the Internet, of course.
They deleted it because many major firms announced they won’t hire anyone on the list. Some have even asked for membership lists of the student organizations involved so they can make sure not to hire any students who belong.
A group called Accuracy in Media has been sending billboard trucks around Harvard Square naming the students involved, which some have called “doxing,” though publicly naming the public authors of a public statement hardly seems to rise to that level.
Winston & Strawn, a top law firm where Democratic Vice President Walter Mondale was once a partner, rescinded a job offer for an NYU law student who issued a pro-Hamas proclamation.
This was followed by Harvard’s Kennedy School losing billionaire philanthropist Idan Ofer and his wife Batia from its board. ..
our faith in the University’s leadership has been broken and we cannot in good faith continue to support Harvard and its committees,” said the couple, worth $20 billion.
Bill Ackman, a hedge-fund founder, slammed Harvard too and was joined by a number of his fellow CEOs.
The message: Harvard is no longer morally worthy of our money, and we don’t want to hire its students.
The major law firms, hedge funds and Wall Street houses have had enough of woke students.
Ackman also called out another Ivy League institution, the University of Pennsylvania.

The Palestinian education system teaches hate.
It needs reform.
Free speech is not consequence-less speech.
The Left is really good at doxxing and cancelling persons engaging (or who have ever engaged in) anti-woke “wrong think.”
Conservatives are beginning to return the favor. This is a start.
Thanks for your comments re Free Speech!

I’ve noticed this a lot recently. A televised interview in which the interviewee says absolutely nothing that everyone else hasn’t figured out already.
Lots of reform!
Actually, it’s Israel from the river to the sea. Sorry.
Ignorance is everywhere.
This author’s piece is from 2018 and preaches the myth of ‘palestine’ while addressing the headline phrase

I wonder what the next email by CBC will say about the phrase

If I remember Scripture correctly, the River was not the Jordan, but the Euphrates
