The Football Association (FA) has warned clubs and players in English football not to use the phrase 'From the river to the sea' due to its offensive nature. The phrase, which has been used by pro-Palestinian activists, is considered to be in support of Hamas rather than the Palestinian people. The FA has stated that if the phrase is used again by a football participant, they will seek police guidance on how to respond.
If you would be unhappy if Israelis started chanting “from the river to the sea” you need to stop supporting Pro-Palestinian protestors who say it.
I find the debate over the meaning of “from the river to the sea” to be exhausting. I’m sure some people mean it as a call for a peaceful multiethnic state or whatever. Fine.

FA writing to clubs about "from the river to the sea" as used by Hamza Choudhury in his now deleted post. "This phrase is considered offensive to many...if this phrase is used again by a football participant, we will seek police guidance on how we should treat it and respond."
People who are chanting "From the River to the Sea" don't know what they are chanting. It means supporting HAMAS, not the Palestinian people. The Palestinian people are victims of the brutality of HAMAS.
