Someone shared this link to an "Off-Guardian" piece titled No, #Hamas is not committed to the obliteration of #Israel. I want to point out how much misinformation there is in this piece. This is not a discussion about the entire #Gaza situation, but about this misleading piece. Near the beginning we have:

The slogan “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is often considered antisemitic because the assumption is it infers no “homeland” for the Jews. In fact, the phrase became widely used as a political slogan during the 1960’s. It was largely promulgated by the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO), who were instrumental in forming the present Palestinian Authority (PA).

Read up on the #PLO if you don't see the problem here. This organisation was formed in 1964, when Jordan controlled the West Bank and Egypt controlled Gaza. The liberation the PLO was seeking was not from Jordan or Egypt. They were seeking to eliminate the state of Israel and establish a Palestinian state on all of the land of the British (Cis-Jordanian) Mandate of #Palestine. They conducted terrorist attacks on Israel. They also played a key part in instigating the bloody Lebanese civil war, which ultimately left over 100,000 dead.

It is true that in the 1990s the PLO was instrumental in the Oslo Peace Accords and creating the Palestinian Authority, and started working towards a Palestinian state only in the West Bank and Gaza (now often referred to as Palestine), but don't erase everything that happened between their founding and that. If they promulgated the slogan in the 1960s, it only confirms its antisemitic nature.

I had a quick read, and it seems the rest of the the piece is just as bad for facts. I'm not going to dissect it all.

And again: if you want to discuss the situation as a whole, please start your own thread.
