Thousands of anti-Israel demonstrators reportedly flooded midtown Manhattan Saturday afternoon, calling for a “global intifada,” a slogan many view as an incitement to violence against Jewish communities.

The Stand with Gaza protesters, carrying signs seeking to “end all aid to Israel,” clanged cowbells while chanting “free, free Palestine” and “Palestine will live forever.”

Since the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack by Hamas in southern Israel, the phrase “globalize the intifada” has been referred to as a call for antisemitic violence.

The legislation cites violent attacks against Jewish people in the U.S., including the fatal burning of pro-Israel demonstrators in Boulder, Colorado, and the deadly shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers in D.C.

If passed in the House, the resolution would denote the phrase as a call for violence against Israeli and Jewish people throughout the world, putting their safety at risk. It would also discourage leaders from supporting or partaking in the chant.
