“Globalize the Intifada” is not a call for peace. Nothing about this language is progressive.
“Globalize the Intifada” is a call to export suicide bombings, shootings, stabbings and murderous car rammings against Jews in IsraelJewish communities around the globe.
The Intifada has now been globalized. This language inspired the murder of our community members in Washington and the firebombing of our community in Boulder.
The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was not an intifada. It was not terrorism. It was not politically motivated violence against innocent people.
It was a final, courageous stand by Jews facing imminent deportation to death camps for industrial scale extermination – for no reason other than that they were Jews.
No Jews are calling to “Globalize the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising” to justify deadly violence against Europeans.
Exploiting and perverting Holocaust history to launder language that leads to the murder of Jews is antisemitism.
Anyone who does this, or who endorses someone who does this, is encouraging violent anti-Jewish hatred.
Anyone who encourages hate has abandoned the values of the progressive movement.
