    “From the river to the sea” apparently comes from the original slogan من المية للمية فلسطين عربية, which literally means “from the water [of the river] to the water [of the sea), Palestine will be Arab.” It’s been used in a number of different contexts, from Western groups that advocate for a single secular democratic state for Jews and Arabs, to groups advocating for Jewish elimination from the region.
