This resolution unequivocally condemns the slogan "Globalize the Intifada," asserting it constitutes a direct call for violence against Israeli and Jewish people globally. It highlights that the term "Intifada" historically refers to periods of violent terrorism against Israelis, including suicide bombings and other attacks, and notes the slogan's prevalence in protests following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack. The resolution emphasizes that the slogan undermines the safety and security of Jewish communities and cites organizations like the Anti-Defamation League and American Jewish Committee, which characterize it as encouraging indiscriminate violence. It also notes a significant rise in antisemitic incidents and provides recent examples of alleged antisemitic attacks in the United States. Furthermore, the resolution urges individuals and organizers committed to Middle East peace to refrain from affirming or displaying the slogan and to denounce participants who do. It concludes by calling for national, State, and local leaders to strongly and unequivocally condemn "Globalize the Intifada" as a dangerous incitement to hatred and violence.
