What Does Death To Israel Mean?

 by

P. S. Sahni



“There have been explicit or implicit expressions, statements and rhetoric made by individuals, political entities, and factions within Arab, Islamic, Palestinian or left-wing discourse advocating for the elimination or annihilation of the State of Israel as a political entity.” (Wikipedia)

 

What exactly does the expression mean or convey? The western media interprets it as elimination of Israel from the map of the world. This is then drummed-up ad-infinitum – as has already been done for decades – to damn the Palestinians struggling for their rightful land; the west effectively ensures that no sympathy for the oppressed Palestinians emerges. But the blatant and public genocidal acts of Israel, USA, UK, France and Germany have generated world-wide support and massive public demonstrations in support of Palestinians. Yet the daily killings continue; I analysed quotes from the net regarding ‘Death to Israel’ over the last two decades to develop an understanding. I referred to:

 

1.          The Atlantic, 15 July 2022 and 2 February 2024

2.          Haaretz.com, 3 November 2011

3.          Fathom Journal, 3 November 2023

4.          Reuters, 11 February 2024

5.          The Times of Israel, 3 September 2022

6.          Quora, 7 July 2015 and 31 October 2023

7.          The Daily Star, 12 February 2024

8.          The Times of Israel, 14 April 2023

9.          Mosaic Magazine, 20 July 2022

10.      The Iran Primer, 19 October 2023

11.      The Australian Jewish News, 1 September 2022

12.      124 News, 4 September 2022

13.      Haaretz, 27 October 2006

14.      Hoover Digest, 22 January 2009

15.      MEMRI TV, 15 November 2019 and 12 June 2021

16.      The Jerusalem Post, 7 March 2019

17.      Jeremy McLellan (twitter)

18.      Everand, 14 February 2014

 

The conclusion is that by and large the media exemplifies what has been termed ‘The Reality Around Us Is Constructed By Liars’ – to wit the journalists; the western media deliberately has been distorting the expression ‘Death To Israel’ to damn the Palestinians!
