I am sure that it is not news to you; but still, it is worth stating.
Article 32 of the Hamas Constitution states, "The HAMAS regards itself the spearhead and the vanguard of the circle of struggle against World Zionism... Islamic groups all over the Arab world should also do the same, since they are best equipped for their future role in the fight against the warmongering Jews."
Like Douglas Murray said, "When a big-bearded man stands up in the streets of London and calls for "jihad", he does NOT mean "a struggle to understand the nature of the Divine." It is a call for violence!"
The same thing with "globalize the Intifada". The incident in Boulder, CO was "globalizing the Intifada". One of the victims who was injured by the flamethrowing jihadist passed away yesterday. Calling for an intifada is not a call for liberty, justice, and equal rights. It is a call for violence against Jews.
I have my problems with Jean-Paul Sartre (particularly his support for left-wing violence and terrorism), but this quote has been in my head a lot lately:
"Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
Kristen Welker is at the very least a “useful idiot” but more correctly should be labeled a “fellow traveler” insofar as her journalistic track record speaks to her sympathy to leftist ideologies. Con men like Mamdani survive because of the collaboration of the media.
The ideologies aren't the same, but Mamdani is every bit the con man as Trump and I see people who used to be sane Democrats endorsing him just as formerly sane Republicans endorsed Trump nine years ago.

Exactly. Words have context, and you've correctly given the context.

Globalize the Intifada carries the same valence as the n... word only more so.
