Not familiar with the discourses except he/him and from river to the sea.
Can someone please ELI5?
Short(ish) version- "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” pro-Palestinian activists from London to Rome and Washington chanted in the volatile aftermath of Israel’s bloodiest day. Adopting or defending it can be costly for public figures, such as U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who was censured by the House on Tuesday.

That's the bit he said said he did understand
TLDR; Hamas adopted the slogan in 2012. Jewish people say it is a call to genocide saying "Have no doubt that Hamas is cheering those ‘from the river to the sea’ chants, because a Palestine between the river to the sea leaves not a single inch for Israel."
Edit: This post sums it up pretty well.
It is a call to genocide, because Hamas is an openly genocidal organization, just like the current government of Israel.
Bud light made a few special cans for an ad with a transgender woman, people got mad and started boycotting budweiser. Age gaps in dating are discouraged because there can be power/knowledge imbalances that lead to the younger person being taken advantage of, though I'd say that a gap of 3 years at that age is not a big power imbalance. Body count usually refers to the total number of people someone has had sex with.
