Those who hate Israel often call for intifada, an Arabic word meaning “uprising.” Pro-Hamas demonstrators carry signs with slogans like “Intifada Until Victory,” “There Is Only One Solution: Intifada Revolution,” and “Globalize the Intifada.”
Members of the media and higher education assure us these messages are calls for peaceful protests and boycotts, not war. But reality tells a different story.
From 1987 to 1993 and 2000 to 2005, Palestinian terrorists launched two intifadas against Israel. The campaigns involved the bloody slaughter of more than 1,000 Israeli civilians and soldiers. Today, we’re seeing a globalized intifada on the streets of major North American and European cities.
The Western world must wake up from its naive slumber. When anti-Israel bigots call for intifada, they mean exactly what we see today—assaults on Jewish people wherever they may be found.Antisemitism expert, Olivier Melnick, recently detailed that while many young people gleefully jump on board with the “resistance and social justice” perception of an “intifada,” they willfully ignore its calls for violence against Jews.
“Since October 8, 2023, we have heard the chants ‘globalize the Intifada.’ To be sure, that motto wasn’t born after Hamas invaded Israel and murdered 1,200 innocent Israelis, but it indeed became more popular,” Melnick highlighted. “College students all over America and other parts of the world are rallying under the banner of a global intifada. Ignoring the implications, many gather and brandish signs with “From the River to the Sea, Palestine Shall be Free!” Again, ignorance makes the actions very toxic. The motto being chanted is a call for the complete destruction of Israel, something that many youngsters have no clue about.”
