In 2014 Ariel said, "Between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea there will be only one state, which is Israel." The phrase has been used by the Israeli Prime Minister, Likud's Benjamin Netanyahu, in speeches. Similar wording has also been used more recently by other Israeli politicians.

Islamist militant faction Hamas used the phrase in its 2017 charter. Usage of the phrase by such Palestinian militant groups has led critics to claim that it advocates for the dismantling of Israel, and the removal or extermination of its Jewish population.[8][7]

Como se puede ver la frase "desde el río hasta el mar" es de invención sionista. La usaban (y lo usan aun) en el sentido de promocionar el Gran Israel, que pasa evidentemente por expulsar a todos los palestinos o bien someterles o bien matarles, luego Hamas simplemente la copio y utilizo en el sentido opuesto. Hoy la usan millones de pacifistas judios y no judíos junto a Palestine will be free (free de freedom) y a otro trozo: peace in the middle east from the river to the sea!... pero al "melón aumectante" esto se la refanfinfla claro.
