9. I think you're the one who's myopic

You didn't justify your position at all. Why do you take Hill's word for it? Because he says he meant something else? Let's see. He has a history of demanding right of return, which consequently means the replacing of Israel with an Arab state. He's experienced in the area, so he knows the common meaning of the phrase, "From the River to the Sea." That phrase has been used to mean the replacement of Israel with an Arab state for decades. It doesn't have any other commonly used meaning. He spoke the phrase at a UN conference that is well known for supporting the extreme anti-Israel position. What basis is there to believe his denial? And if he really meant something else, why didn't he at least acknowledge that the phrase is so highly susceptible of the meaning that everyone on my side knows? And you think that I'm myopic? Have a nice day.
