“‘From the river to the sea,’” explains Chait, who hears white supremacist dog whistles in his sleep, “is an inflammatory and irresponsible slogan that implicitly creates solidarity with terrorism precisely because it is ambiguous and open to multiple definitions, but it is not per se antisemitic.”

“From the river to the sea” is the least ambiguous phrase imaginable. It quite literally and geographically lays out the genocidal aims of its chanters — from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, including all of the Jewish state, not just “occupied” territory. Using Chait’s partisan-addled logic, one could argue that white supremacists who chant, “You Will Not Replace Us” might not be talking about racial domination — you know, not per se — but merely about coexistence. Who’s to know, right? …

There are indeed antisemites on both sides – and we should call them out. But while most of the worst right-wing antisemites cosplay as Nazis in front of Disney, full-blown left-wing Hamas apologists are now embedded in universities, major newspapers, cable news, liberal politics, think tanks, protest movements like BLM and the Women’s March, and in congress.

[And if their reach was as limited as Chait attempts to argue, he’d have no problem calling them out. He’s vacillating BECAUSE of the growing influence of anti-Semitism in the Democrat Party from the progressive, woke, ‘decolonizer’ Left. — Ed]
