“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is often heard at rallies supposedly supporting the Palestinian people.

Belief that they are entitled to all of Israel is what kept them, tragically, from accepting past peace deals that fell short of the Israelis handing over the keys to the country and then magically vanishing.
