UK police to arrest those chanting ‘globalize the intifada’

1. This is going to go down well with the usual suspects on here I’ll bet.

   There will be lots of whines of “But it just means resistance,” and a lot more whining when it’s pointed out that we’ve seen what they mean by “resistance” and it’s murdering people in Manchester or Sydney or Washington for the sin of being Yahudi.

2. That’s what happens when you don’t allow free speech, now don’t cry about the effects.

3. The hypocrisy is astounding. They continue to support a genocidal apartheid regime while claiming protesters are the violent ones. Free Palestine, free Palestine.

   More words to hit the 150 character count, thanks mods….

4. We’re about one step away from them arresting you simply for being pro-Palestinian. All because one of the most powerful countries in the world refuses to stop bombing children

5. We all saw two people “globalize the intifada” just a few days ago in Sydney. The days of “it just means resistance” are long gone, especially when the pro-Palestine crowd is openly promoting it right after an antisemitic terrorist attack.

   It should be considered a threat and result in fines/jail.

6. Western world on a race to the bottom with this shit.

   Weaponizing the entire state to protect an genocidal aparthied state that is wildly unpopular is only going to make those speaking against Israel more popular, including the likes of Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson on the right who are getting tons of press and coverage for their civil war in the right wing.

   Its just funny, the West really thinks it can censor and browbeat its own citizens into compliance with obvious genocide and then just tries to stomp on anyone speaking against it. They building their own coffins and giving the people the nails. These idiots dont realize how much the average person is becoming incesed by this. 

   The backlash to these things will be generational. The establishment is pro Israel, anyone anti establishment simply must go against them and they will have crowds coming to them. They’re making it too easy.

7. What about whenever gangs of Israeli football hooligans/war criminals chant ‘death to Arabs’ or ‘there are no more schools in Gaza’ in European cities.

   Or how about when Netanyahu says ‘from the river to the sea’?

8. So an apartheid state carrying out a genocide is okay but a slogan about global resistance against that country is not okay.

9. Name something that supposedly free western democratic governments love to do more than criminalizing wrongthink. Sooner or later they’re just going to make it illegal to be pro-Palestine at all.

10. Bondi beach was literal ‘Globalize the Intifada’.

    Before some of you try to say its not a violent slogan, find me an Intifada that hasn’t been violent.

    Edit; Don’t fight with downvotes, fight with facts people. Come on, I know you got facts that both Intifada’s have been non-violent, so naturally a call to globalize this in the wake of the Bondi Beach is non-violent.

    Right?

11. Can anyone show me the evidenced, causal link between atrocities like the Bondi attack and “Globalise the Intifada”.

    If you can’t, then you’re just going on vibes.

    Because as far as I understand, this is your argument:

    **Belief:**
    Globalise the Intifada means a call for violence against Jewish people, even though the people who say it don’t actually call for violence against Jewish people.

    **Proof:**
    Antisemitic attacks are committed. This must be because Globalise the Intifada calls for violence, despite no evidence that links the attacks to pro-Palestinian protest movements.

    **Problem:**
    This is a self fulfilling loop based on beliefs (ie. Vibes). not evidence.

    *I believe X calls for violence, when violent things happen it must be X fault because of my belief, which proves that X calls for violence.*

12. Functionally, in real life lived experience in the context of this conflict specifically, “intifada” means and has always meant both randomized and targeted stabbings, shootings, suicide bombings, etc. It seems that anti-Zionist protestors in Western countries think they can divorce the word from its functional, real-life, very violent context in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and pretend like it just means some form of general civil disobedience. That is, of course, ridiculous; it is either extremely disingenuous or shockingly ignorant to divorce a phrase like that from its very obvious meaning in the context of this – or any – conflict.
