He's fucking right. They'd be blowing the damn roof off the place if anyone else was pulling this bullshit.

I just don’t understand how these idiots don’t see it. They were literally making solutes and telling people to get over the holocaust. Yet the “far left “ are the fascists?

The far left calls Elon a Nazi and then they yell “from the river to the sea” to support Anti Semitism. The irony is thick.

It has 2 meanings, depending on who says it. Most people who say it are saying it in support of Palestine without knowing the connotations of it. From the river to the sea refers to the Jordan river and the Mediterranean sea and basically says 'we want everything from the river to the sea'. No matter which way you look, that'll require the displacement or extermination of an entire group of people, either Israelis or Palestinians, depending on which way you look at it. It's been used by both sides' politicians to basically mean 'all this land is ours and everyone else should leave.'

People in support of Palestine mostly don't see the negative connotations and people in support of Israel ignore that the Israelis use the phrase too.
