Chanting "Death to Arabs" is horrible. But so are many Palestinian chants, and no one condemns them. (update)

Yesterday, during the Jerusalem Flag march, a group of Jewish children chanted "Death to Arabs."

This was the scene that reporters came there to see, and it spread like wildfire.

The chant is reprehensible. It is a call to genocide and ethnic cleansing.

However, such calls are seen in Palestinian - and pro-Palestinian - protests all the time. They do not get nearly as much coverage.

In Manhattan on Tuesday, among the many slogans being chanted by a crowd of anti-Israel protesters, you can hear:

"Long live the intifada" 

"There is only one solution - intifada revolution"

This is a direct call to violence. While apologists claim that "intifada" merely means "shaking off" in Arabic, in colloquial terms today it always refers to the terror spree that killed hundreds of Jews with bus bombings, suicide bombings and other attacks. 

"Hey hey, ho ho, Zionists have got to go"

Where? Jewish Zionists have lived in Israel for a hundred years. It is a call for ethnic cleansing.

"No justice, no peace"

This one means that unless Palestinians reach what they call "justice" - which is the elimination of the Jewish state - the will continue their support of terror and war against Jews (not against Israeli Arabs!). So it is another call for ethnic cleansing of Jews. 

That's in Manhattan. 

In Jerusalem, during the flag march, Palestinians chanted back, 

“With fire and blood, we’ll liberate Palestine.”

This is again a direct call for war and violence against Israeli Jews.

At other protests, you can hear 

"Itbach al-Yahud." - "Slaughter the Jews."

This has been a popular phrase since at least the 1920s. It was broadcast over loudspeakers at the Temple Mount to incite the 1990 riots.  It has been heard at other protests. 

"Khaybar, Khaybar Al Yahud"

This is a message for Jews that the army of Mohammed, who slaughtered the Jews of Khaybar, will return for them. This is especially popular, even though it is yet another call for genocide.

"From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free"

We've discussed the origins of this phrase recently. Unlike the apologetics that some are claiming, this is a direct call to destroy the State of Israel and to ethnically cleanse the Jews. 

"Hamas, Hamas, Jews to the gas"

More popular with soccer fans, but still more widespread than "death to the Arabs." (h/t Emmanuel)

Where are the people protesting these frequent calls to ethnically cleanse - or even to slaughter - Jews?

Jews and Israelis across the board condemned the call to kill Arabs. Where are the condemnations from Palestinians or Palestinian activists about these calls to eliminate Jews from the region?
