Things You Say That Tends To Make People Angry

What are some of the things you say that tend to get people upset at you? I don't mean slurs or things like that, I mean statements that you believe are perfectly valid and harmless that other people see as a threat or as an insult? I'll start with the one that got me banned from another board:
"From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will Be Free."
Why does it make people angry? Because too many of them think it means murdering Jewish people, and it does not, especially since major organizations represented by Jewish people have stepped up and repeatedly stated that it is not a threat of violence. Some folks just don't agree with that, though, and think it clearly means harming Jewish folks. It no more means that than MLK's "we shall overcome" means murdering white folks.
We live in highly charged times with an active genocide splitting people, so it's clear why that statement would get people's hackles up.
