Trademark Battle: Lawyers Seek to Patent Controversial Pro-Palestinian Slogan

Two American lawyers have applied for trademarks to cover the phrase "From the River to the Sea," which is a controversial slogan associated with Hamas and has been used during pro-Palestinian protests. Critics argue that the slogan can be interpreted as a call for the elimination of Israel, while supporters claim it is not violent. The lawyers' applications seek to cover different parts of the phrase, but experts doubt they will be successful in obtaining the trademarks. Some suggest that the true purpose of the applications may be to generate publicity, and the fact that the applicants are Jewish could fuel anti-Israel sentiments.
