1. ‘#Palestine From the River to the Sea’ = Always been a call for annihilation not liberation. The first recorded use of the phrase was by the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) when it was formed in 1964.

2. Back in 1964, much of the land west of the Jordan River was controlled by #Egypt and #Jordan. But the PLO’s 1964 Charter specifically excluded both the #WestBank and #Gaza from the territories it sought to “liberate.”
3. The phrase was used by the PLO leadership, specifically #AbuIyad, the head of the #BlackSeptember terrorist group, which in the name of “freedom” and “resistance” in 1972 kidnapped, castrated and then murdered 11 Israeli Olympians.4 
4. The Islamist Supremacist #Hamas Charter published in 1988, expressly states in its preamble that “Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam obliterates it” And, in Article 6, it says that Hamas “strives to raise the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine”
5. Those who support the “from the river to the sea” have always rejected all partition plans and peace plans offered to them.
6. Since 1937, Jewish leadership in the land of Israel has repeatedly accepted partition plans and offered peace plans, which included the creation of the first independent Arab state in history west of the Jordan River.
7. In total, 6 times peace has been offered or accepted by Israel. The Palestinians have to yet say YES to one, only one.
