From the River to the Sea

The phrase "From the river to the sea" is a political slogan that refers to the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, historically known as Palestine. The phrase has been used by both Palestinian and Israeli politicians to advocate for a single state in the region. Initially, it was used by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in the 1960s to call for a decolonized state encompassing Mandatory Palestine, but later revised to call for a single democratic state for Arabs and Jews. However, its usage by Palestinian militant groups has led critics to interpret it as a call for the destruction of Israel and the removal or extermination of its Jewish population. In contrast, some Israeli politicians have used similar wording to advocate for a Greater Israel, an entity conceived as extending from the Jordan to the sea.learn more on wikipedia
