Feel like this analogy might function better if it weren’t comparing an old white guy ~~the Palestinian people~~ to white power dickheads.

Except the convo here is about the general use of the phrase so nah

Also, can we remind ourselves of the exact phrase that MacDonald used please? Talking of river to sea is not uncommon in this context - you can find the same phrasing in the original party platform of the Likud party FFS.

Eh? "We're talking about the phrase generally"

"Let's get back to exactly what the individual said"

OK, let me be clear then. All of my comments are within the context of the criticism of Starmer for his swift response to McDonald.

If you're someone of Palestinian origin using the phrase, then I absolutely think there is space to have a nuanced opinion based on phasing and context.

I'm well aware of the whole sentence. It's still dumb af and he deserved suspension.
