    “From the River to the Sea!” comes from the same mindset as “Blood and Soil”. They’re both abhorrent and neither should be used.

      Sounds closer to “from sea to shining sea, let freedom ring” but no one calls America the beautiful a call for genocide.

        You’re not wrong, but the difference is the American genocide is in the past. The Israeli one is happening now.
