You are right, there has been much "slogan-izing", but from both sides
of the conflict, i.e., that includes the Israeli side. This draws
people away from the real issues, that is the Palestinians' right
to exist, right for self-determination, right to choose their own
representatives, etc.
When is Israel gonna acknowledge these rights?
