Understanding the Israel-Hamas Conflict: Key Events and Evacuations

The pro-Palestinian slogan "from the river to the sea" has sparked controversy and inflamed debate in Congress and on college campuses. While some Palestinians see it as a call for freedom and the right of return, critics argue that it is a genocidal call to destroy Israel. The phrase has a complicated history, with different interpretations by Israelis, Palestinians, and Americans who support them. It has been adopted by Hamas, further fueling its negative connotations. The debate over the slogan reflects the ongoing bitter dispute over the Israel-Gaza conflict and the role of the United States in it.
