They are right that a lot of Zoomers use 'from the river to the sea' without knowing the context of the phrase.
I don't think it's a symptom of anything deeper, but I do think it's a matter of concern.
Sounds like you don't know the context of the phrase if you think it's genocidal. It's a call for Palestinian freedom in their own homeland. Of course, when Israel uses it, it does tend to mean genocide or ethnic cleansing, but when Palestinians say it, it just means being able to live free in the place they always have, whether it's a connected two state or one state.
