In Episode 204 [14] of the CounterVortex podcast [15], Bill Weinberg returns to the persisting controversy [16] around the slogan "From the River to the Sea [17]"—portrayed as either a call to genocide [18] or a cry for liberation [19]. Much mainstream media coverage [20] has dishonestly accepted the prior interpretation as a fait accompli. On the other hand, displays of unseemly enthusiasm [21] for the Hamas attacks by certain sectors of the Palestine solidarity movement have provided propaganda fodder [22] for Israel and its stateside pressure groups. This is (at least) a tactical error that abets moves toward campus censorship [23] of pro-Palestinian voices. Listen on SoundCloud [14] or via Patreon [24].
