    Intifada specifically means “uprising” and has primarily been used by Palestinians to describe large scale coordinated events against Israel either violent or nonviolent.

      I’m not even sure that usage of the word in the context of Israel is the most common usage historically. It’s just an Arabic word.

      Go to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising wikipedia page and translate it into Arabic. The title is انتفاضة غيتو وارسو Intifada Ghetto Warsaw

        Greta supports the Palestinian right of violent resistance to occupation. Not sure why a Jew in Berlin would be fearful of that though.

        Not only the first intifada started peacefully and then the idf started shooting protesters but also a larger amount of palestinians was murdered

        Intifada, not infantada. But given Israel’s proclivities regarding child murder, it’s an understandable mistake to make.

        Its so funny Israelites being afraid of Palestinian violence. But completely ignoring that they have done more to the palastins even before this war.
