'From the river to the sea' IS an unabashedly racist phrase. The point I was making was that there IS no reclaiming it. It's like trying to reclaim 'ain't no black in the union jack'.

I’d thought it was the bit that typically came before it that made it racist, and that trying to change that was trying to shift the discourse. But it seems it has become so contentious a phrase because of what typically precedes it that it can’t be rehabilitated.
