    do you know what “from the river to the sea” means?

    Yeah, it means the same thing as a song I was taught in elementary school:

    From sea to shining sea,

    Let freedom ring

    It means let everyone in this land enjoy freedom. I suppose if your a cynical bastard you could say it means free of natives, but I don’t think that’s what the elementary schoolers, and everyone else who sings the song means.

      Oh God no, what gave that idea? From the river to the sea means destroying Israel and killing every infidel there.

      Actually now that I think about it, from sea to shining sea did involve killing a lot of native Americans. That actually lines up.
