What's this?

It's not peaceful... but the Palestinians think all of Israel is their

land. Israel obviously disagrees. So in a dispute over a homeland that has spanned generations with a history that is much longer than that, is it really that surprising that the Palestinians would have a chant in which they lay claim to all of Israel. I'm not defending it at all, since the obvious implication is what happens to all the Jews in that scenario, and I side about 95% with Israel in the overall conflict, but I do think that literal implication of that chant is probably overplayed by the anti-Palistine crowd
