“Marchers chanted ‘there is only one solution, intifada revolution,’ and ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,’ referring to the removal of the state of Israel.”
Political Islam recognizes the power of words to shape thoughts and form opinions. When the crowd at Columbia chanted “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” it was a call for the elimination of Israel and all of its Jewish population. It was not a call for a two-state solution and co-existence between Palestinians and Israelis, but a demand for only one state, a Palestinian state, where Israel now exists.
