Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur 3h Can everyone please stop the dumb “from the river to the sea” chant? It is incredibly hurtful to our Jewish brothers and sisters. It’s also incredibly counterproductive to protecting Palestinians. Do not chant something that majority thinks is call for genocide. Not complicated. Dec 11, 2023 · 11:09 PM UTC
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Can’t have an ethnostate these days
One state solution it is
Didn’t he just go on a rant against zionists that turned a bunch of heads on the left? Was he cynically trying to win over some left cred just so he could sell this to some people?
cynically? no probably not he’s just a big dumb optics-brain baby who thinks the republicans would totally all be democrats if they just sloganeered a little better
Wdym raised heads? I’m ootl on this one.
I actually didn’t watch the clip myself I just kinda deducted what I could from context. It was on Twitter so it was probably mostly libs sharing it now that I think about it. I think I just made up a story in my head. I don’t want to link to Twitter, but it’s all I found so here it is: https://twitter.com/umyaznemo/status/1733326416718987727
How do you really feel about the slogan, Cenk?
Gonna go ahead and say the guy with the media empire called the young turks is being disingenuous when he’s complaining how bad seeming to support genocide can be for your messaging.
Why does no one seem to say this to the other side when they say ‘no ceasefire’, that it sounds like support of genocide (I asked rhetorically)
How does he still not get that there will never be a form of resistance that will be considered acceptable?
yeah, if the chant had been “peaceful and reasonable accommodation with the state of israel”, they would’ve called that a genocidal chant. there’s no point.
He gets that. His entire schtick about trans people has been complaining how everything trans people do is too far actually. He understands it well and exploits it for every cause he doesn’t like but is too cowardly to badmouth openly.
I personally prefer the original: “From the window to the wall, Palestine will be free”
From the Need for Speed to the Underground 2
There’s definitely a tunnel joke in here with the “underground” part lol. I’m just not funny enough to come up with one.
look, it’s very simple. palestinians are stupid children who are incapable of properly advocating for themselves, so we must refrain from using their absurd political slogans
Know what’s not complicated? Speaking out against genocide. It’s really easy actually. Shame Cenk can’t even do that
another settler down unlimited river to the sea
every river to every sea,
from the Rhine to the Baltic
from the Yangtze to the Yellow Sea
our Jewish brothers and sisters
protecting Palestinians.
huh I wonder why he used different language
“It’s also incredibly counterproductive to protecting Palestinians.”
You see the reactionary brain pan is inherently violent and will commit atrocities at the slightest provocation.
When will left libs learn that it doesn’t matter what they say or do the right. Will never care or respect them. No matter how much they roll over and piddle on themselves the center and the right will always see “progressives,” or whatever term they are using this decade, as children to be ignored.
Just call them libs, there’s nothng left about them
Not too long ago I was at a pro-Palestine protest where members of Jewish Voice For Peace were gladly joining along with “From the river to the sea” chants
So shut the fuck up Cenk
Umm ackshually those weren’t true Jews. You might not know this but the Netanyahu is actually the Jewish pope and revoked their Jewishness.
