When I hear “from the river to the sea,” I don’t think of scenery. I don’t think of a trip. I don’t think of peace. I hear, simply, “We want you to disappear.”

If you’ve ever searched for the factor that makes terrorists run like tigers, scream like peacocks and feel like they’re invulnerable – look no further.
