Musk says 'from the river to the sea' implies genocide, and people advocating genocide will get suspended from X

Elon Musk has declared that the phrase "from the river to the sea" implies genocide and those who promote genocide will be suspended from X.

"Yes, 'decolonization' necessarily implies a Jewish genocide, thus it is unacceptable to any reasonable person," Musk tweeted earlier this week. Then, on Friday, he retweeted that post and wrote, "As I said earlier this week, 'decolonization', 'from the river to the sea' and similar euphemisms necessarily imply genocide. Clear calls for extreme violence are against our terms of service and will result in suspension."

"At risk of stating the obvious, anyone advocating the genocide of *any* group will be suspended from this platform," Musk also tweeted.

While "from the river to the sea" is widely regarded as a call to wipe the Jewish state of Israel off of the map, Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan has claimed that it "is an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, or hate."

Musk has been facing backlash for agreeing with comments someone posted on X: "Jewish communties [sic] have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them. I'm deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest s*** now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don't exactly like them too much," the person wrote in a tweet.

Musk replied, "You have said the actual truth." In another post, he wrote, "The ADL unjustly attacks the majority of the West, despite the majority of the West supporting the Jewish people and Israel. This is because they cannot, by their own tenets, criticize the minority groups who are their primary threat. It is not right and needs to stop."

The White House issued a statement of condemnation in response to Musk's tweet agreeing with the other individual's remarks. "We condemn this abhorrent promotion of Antisemitic and racist hate in the strongest terms," spokesperson Andrew Bates declared in a statement.
