    That is a recognized hate slogan. Western activists claim it is ambiguous. Discuss.

          You didn’t answer my question, and you are a dumbass. The “proof” you linked is just more baseless assertions, and none of them support the idea that any slogan calling for a free Palestine is actually coded language that actually refers to expelling all the Jews.

          Really, it’s just projection. The Israeli project is the expulsion of all Arabs from Gaza and the West Bank, and they’ve said it openly. To quote Yoav Gallant, “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly… There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed.” That quote encapsulates both statement of intent to commit genocide, as well as genocidal dehumanization. Yet it’s always pro-Palestinian speech that’s suppressed and criminalized - pro-Israel speech is not subjected to the same “actually, this means this” standard, despite how the Israeli state is both genocidal in intent and actively undertaking genocide.
