“Globalize the intifada,” in which “intifada” refers to the 1987–93 and 2000–05 Palestinian uprisings in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, is a slogan adopted by some pro-Palestinian activists calling for international pressure on Israel to prioritize human rights and self-determination for the Palestinian people. While those activists conceive of the first and second intifadas as an uprising in support for Palestinian freedom, many other people associate the intifadas with the targeting of Israeli Jewish civilians through violence, particularly during the second intifada. The concern that “globalize the intifada” encourages antisemitic terrorism has been further amplified by the sharp rise in antisemitic incidents during the Israel-Hamas War.
