    It’s always a grim reality check to see how easily foreign nations influence Australia. I hope everyone doubles down and keeps saying the phrase.

    I often used to wonder how Australia had never gone the way of America in many things. It now seems that they were just a few years behind them.

      Australians have known this phenomenon for a long time.

    Kudos to you, students 🩷

    This whole situation is just ludicrous. We should all be wearing t-shirts with euphemisms like “From the puddle to the pond”, “From the sink to the bathtub”, “From the creek to the brine”, “From the jug to the lake” (can you think of others?). See if they arrest us all.

        The only one sharing hate speech around here is you.

        From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

          The point is that slogan is considered hateful to some. It’s considered to be calling for terrible things. You probably don’t mean it that way (I hope), but knowing how offensive it is to others, why would you keep using it?

            Because the people claiming they find it hateful are doing so performatively in order to restrict just criticism of their favourite country’s genocidal actions. Or are being earnest, but have been tricked into believing it is offensive by the former group. Either way, the outcome is a pro-genocide one.

            Who gives a shit what settlers think?

            from the moskva to the oder
            Push the nazis back and over

            would have been considered hateful by g*rmans during WW2. Death to pissrahell. Death to fascism everywhere.

          As a point. I’ve got nothing against Muslims, I just know it’s a eye catcher in this context. If that ‘slogan’ is hate speech and is bad (it is) then so is the other slogan. I made the point because you seem to think the other slogan is no big deal. But it is to some people. I won’t elaborate or I’ll probably get banned from this sub for having such a centralist/moderate attitude.

            CF, please look at Zagorath’s comment. Also, do some research and you’ll find that these words and variations thereof have been used by Israelis as well for their purposes.

            Palestinian use is about becoming free of oppression and genocide. Israeli use is about taking as much as they can from whoever they can with biblical justification which is more than questionable. Your slogan is plain provocation to violence and execution of a particular religious group.
