People like to get creative with their license plates. It's a chance to express themselves to the world, up to and including while they're going 80 MPH on the interstate.

And as the Times of Israel reports, some people like to use their plates to advocate, um, well, the destruction of the Jewish state?

A driver in California sued the state's department of motor vehicles this week for revoking her license plate, which read 'RVRTSEA,' a reference to the anti-Zionist protest slogan, 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.'
State authorities had ruled that the slogan could refer to genocide or risk inciting violence, while the plaintiff, Iasmine Abdennabi, said the phrase indicated 'support for equal civil and political rights' in Israel and the Palestinian territories.

Ah yes, "equal civil and political rights."

The slogan specifically refers to the intent to eliminate the Jewish presence in the region between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, although it is connected to an older Jewish saying that refers to the extent of King David and Solomon's kingdom from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean in ancient times.

Even California is hesitant to allow such a slogan on one of its plates! The state leadership is functionally insane and has been for decades, but they apparently draw the line at intimations of genocide. At least for now, anyway.

Still, Iasmine Abdennabi isn't giving up easily. And the details of the case — specifically when she first requested the plate — are, ah, quite revealing:

Abdennabi filed the civil case against the head of the state's Department of Motor Vehicles, Steve Gordon, in the federal US District Court for the Northern District of California, claiming a violation of her constitutional rights. ...
Abdennabi requested the 'RVRTSEA' license plate in December 2023, two months after the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, as a 'political expression' about the conflict. She did not intend to threaten Jews or call for genocide or violence, the complaint said.

Ah, yes, the Palestinian nationalist terrorist group invaded Israel and killed hundreds and hundreds of innocent Israelis, and this young woman opted for a license plate expressing her approval for a Jewish-free Palestinian region, but, uh, you know, she didn't "intend" to "threaten" Jews. Not at all!

As the Times of Israel notes, "at least two drivers had seen the license plate" and filed complaints with the state. The government had issued the plates in May of 2024 but asked for them back after the complaints.

A state tribunal judge already ruled against Abdennabi's request, leading her to file in federal court.
