Americans are now used to hearing songs “Globalize the Intifada” In American cities and campuses. It is so normalized that even a leading mayor candidate in New York City feels comfortable to play down the expression as an expression of ‘a desperate desire for equality and equal rights’. That is shocking enough. But while evidence of a real Intifada is rising – an anti-Israel, Jewish hatred terror campaign, Feeded on our coasts – it’s beyond time to take those demonstrations and their rhetoric seriously.
A movement that FIGHTS attacks on Jews and Israel supporters is not a harmless expression of solidarity with Gaza. Yet many Americans contextualize anti-Jewish violence within the framework of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and, in particular, Israel’s war against Hamas. The point misses that. There is a contingent people in this country who despise Jews and Israel, both try to destroy and just waited for an excuse to act on their hatred.
Israelis know what an Intifada really means, because they have lived it twice. It was when every café, bus and nightclub in Israel was made a target for horrible attacks on citizens. Now Americans learn what it looks like when it is ‘globalized’.
Pennsylvania-Democrat-Governeur Josh Shapiro had to evacuate his family in the middle of the night on Passover because an anti-Israel bombarded his house, raging about the support of the governor for Israel. In Washington, DC, a radical activist sang in May who reportedly carried out “Free Palestine” two Israeli embassy staff who left an American Jewish Committee event.

Recently, in Boulder, colo., a strange national one that has been Living here illegally Since 2023, a fiery attack on protesters that called for the release of Hamas hostages. The attacker told the researchers “he wanted to kill all Zionist people and wished them all dead” and that he had investigated and planned the attack for more than a year, according to the office of the American lawyers.
Instead of establishing a national conversation about the violent anti-Israel, the Jewish Hate Movement, these incidents disappear in broader discussions about “Anti -Semitism and Islamophobia” rises in Gaza because of the war. It is as if violence against American Jews is a kind of natural outcome of Israel’s search to free the hostages that Hamas has in brutal circumstances and to destroy Hamas, a terror group that is aimed at destroying Israel.
As a former envoy in the middle, I know the difference between a real peace movement and one that only serves as a cover for chaos, violence and murder. But no expert is needed to see what the globalized Intifada is. Calls for “Intifada” to “Free Palestine from the river to the sea in all possible ways” were always incompatible with characterizing this as “anti-war”, “pro-cossefire” protests, Or a movement for ‘Palestinian rights’, peace or a so -called ‘two -state solution’.
The movement has never been about setting up a Palestinian state. It is about destroying Israel, because the supporters of the movement fundamentally believe that Jews are not legitimate sovereigns in the country of Israel. The ideology of the movement is lying on its supporters to take extreme measures to destroy Israel, including the aiming of Jews and Israel supporters worldwide.
Treating anti-Jewish attacks such as unfortunate by-products of geopolitical tensions reveals a dangerous misunderstanding about how anti -Semitism works. Jodenhatred does not stem from policy crimes; It is an old prejudice that adapts to contemporary circumstances.

Medieval Europeans blamed Jews for the plague. The fascists from the twentieth century blamed them for economic collapse. Today’s anti -Semites focus on Jews around the world because Israel consists. The Global Intifada is just a new version of a very old hatred. And it’s not just a Jewish problem. The Global Intifada does not care who it is harming in his search.
Anti -Semitic violence bursts in America, since some calls in intifada and aim Jews
A way we can contain the problem is to keep the Intifada out. Some international students and some immigrants who were indoctrinated to hate Jews and Israel have imported unbearable intolerance. President Donald Trump deserves credit Because he had emphasized this issue a long time ago, and acknowledge that violent individuals cross our borders pose a threat to our country, both Jews and non-Jews.
As a former envoy in the middle, I know the difference between a real peace movement and one that only serves as a cover for chaos, violence and murder.
But lately the threat for Jews has become very important. It is alarming that these terrorists have come as far as they, and it is very likely that there are more radicals, just like those who weaken their time. Effective anti-Intifada strategy requires the deporting of aliens who support violence and keep them out in the first place.

Hopefully we now clearly see the danger. Anti-Jewish violence even when it is dressed as “anti-Zionist” -Is no political discourse. Calling to “globalize” a campaign of civil murder and chaos is not part of a political debate. Focus on individuals with violence because of who they are or what they believe is a violation of every principle that we keep holy.
Those who “globalize the Intifada” chants told us exactly who they are and what they are planning – it’s time for us to pay attention and connected the dots.
