Yes, but it's only allowed to be used by one of those groups.

Palestinians say "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free", which means free from occupation and free for all who live on it.

Zionists want you to believe that it's an antiemetic slogan, their actually genocidal version is pushing for Jewish only occupation from the river to the sea.

It's a slogan that is coopted by Israelis. It "belongs" to Palestinians.

Free Palestine

All these things are going away, supported by people who disagree with what they say. Because wisdom is rare now. It will probably need to be a massive war so people again can learn how to be wise afterwards.

They already banning books in USA... 

Jury nullification isn't a "rule" that exists but is more the biproduct of a system. If your system of law has normal people judge you, they can't be punished for their decision, and you can't be tried multiple times for the same crime, then jury nullification exists. The jury simply chooses to ignore directions, makes the decision they think is best, and the court must uphold it

She was arrested and charged, and took the option of accepting a formal caution, which requires that you don't deny committing the offence. If she hadn't taken that option, she'd still be facing charges (and gaol time).

The other guy who was arrested for speaking the words is still facing charges, so far as I know.

From the Guardian's coverage, though, it seems likely his actions will be covered by the 'reasonable excuse' provisions of the law. It seems clear he said it in order to educate the crowd and make a political argument against the laws, and even to discourage the crowd from saying it:

“I’m not sure if everybody here [knows] the history of the different slogans that the government is trying to ban us from saying, so [in] the interests of education, I want to explain [it] to you,” he said at the protest.

He went on to deny that the phrase was terroristic or antisemitic, saying it was instead a call for freedom and dignity of the people between the Jordan River and Mediterranean Sea.

“So when we say, from the river to the sea, we are calling for the freedom of the people of Palestine,” he said.

He discouraged others from chanting the slogan.

Moments later, as protesters started to march, he was arrested.

I wish one day I could drink as much nationalist kool aid as you to think Australia is a single entity or America is a single entity or any nation is a single entity woth a single set of values or a single set of ideals or a single set of principles.

This is called nationalism and is modern invention. You can choose to not participate but school is designed to make you believe you have more in common with the white guy a hundred kilometers away in a part of your nation you have never once visited than the indigenous person or the immigrant down the road. This is a lie.

You identify with the social norms of the dominant ethnic group of the land called Australia. Let me rewrite part of your comment:

"To pretend white people in Australia are anything like the white people in the US is disingenuous. There are white people who want to give up protesting, framing things like this doesn't help"

Ah there we go. Now we can finally understand your position.

Yeah, that's not the face or body language of someone who's anywhere near cowed ✊🏼

Thanks for sharing, here is a bit of info for people who don't want to leave lemmy/piefed.

“It’s important to remember this chant is in English and it doesn’t rhyme in Arabic, it is used in demonstrations in Western countries,” he [Nimer Sultany, a lecturer in law at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London] said. “The controversy has been fabricated to prevent solidarity in the West with the Palestinians.”

Pro-Israel observers, however, argue the slogan has a chilling effect. “To Jewish Israelis what this phrase says is that between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean, there will be one entity, it will be called Palestine – there will be no Jewish state – and the status of Jews in whatever entity arises will be very unclear,” Yehudah Mirsky, a Jerusalem-based rabbi and professor of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies at Brandeis University.

TIL it was a initially freedom slogan from the Palestinians that was mocked and turned into an apartheid slogan by Israeli far-right politicians. So it's complicated now and depends on context.

I think you've got it right, and maybe there are some governments that have rules against advocating for genocide. Kinda wild.
