Well it depends on your perspective
People who want a free Palestine sing it in support of those in gaza
People who are anti Semitic......very different to being pro Palestine and sometimes sing it to intimidate people of Jewish origin
The press have jumped on the song as a reflection of the latter
But that's not a correct conclusion in many cases
Well you shouldn't.

I know who Adam Johannes is. He's a nice guy, American I think, but basically at the forefront of every left-wing protest in Cardiff, so I'm not sure his interpretation is the one everyone uses.
To me it's hard not to view it as proposing the end of Israel, which puts it on the same par as those who want to see the end of Palestine for me.
Maybe it's just unfortunate wording, but I think it's uncomfortable listening to that being chanted so widely. Doesn't help.
I think it's very sad when a certain cohort of people get themselves in a lather over mere words borne out of repression and enforced misery yet appear strangely unmoved by the images of defenseless innocents being routinely slaughtered.
If Israel continue to bomb its going to get louder
In some ways it's all that people have got
I am more concerned about the bombing of hospitals and people in convoys heading south , following instructions from Israel
Far worse than what you describe as an unpleasant chant
I mean you are joking ?
Sludge is your lack of self awareness such that you don't realise what you spend your time endlessly moaning about on here? There are always far more important things, so you don't get to play that card, esp when you were fuming about Kay Burley and demanding she be sacked the other day.
The recognised solution here is a two-state solution. Chants like this don't remotely help achieve that, and they also are more likely to be used by Israel to justify what they are doing.
It's gross.
It's nothing of the sort. It reflects the innate vacuum of understanding of someone who has a "beginners guide" level of knowledge of the conflict and a cosy innate racism which doesn't allow true appreciation of the issue. Still, I'm sorry you were offended over your Pimm's soiree, maybe it would be an idea to avoid challenging news at the moment.
It's not widely being chanted stop your fussing
Deeply uncomfortable ?
Worldwide pressure might stop Israel but I very much doubt it , Israel are kicking into war machine mode
Save being deeply uncomfortable as you say for the repercussions of this current madness
Unpleasant chants which are open to interpretation don't kill but Israeli bombs do
Absolutely thousands
Well essentially it's USA and the British on the sidelines
It's never going to end and the best to hope for is periods of madness interrupted by longer periods of peace
I mean it's good to be optimistic in life but I think it's unrealistic when you have two sides at such loggerheads
It's far more complicated than a few students singing songs and swearing at the police
From the river to the sea Palestine will be free.... of apartheid, ethnic cleansing, white Jewish supremacy, imprisonment without trial, murder by armed reactionary settlers, murder by the (misnamed) Israeli Defence Forces, and 75 years of colonial occupation and daily breaches of international law.
But of course 'many' view that anti-racist sentiment as racist and in your opinion it is offensive. Well if people are offended by a chant for freedom and democracy they (and you) deserve to be offended. I would be more impressed if you declared your offence at the mass murder of children, civilians, journalists, medical staff and aid workers.
