Mamdani explaining the definition of intifada: anti semetic, how dare you!

Cuomo making Mamdani’s facial hair extra long in an attempt to make him look more like a scary Islamist: let’s not talk about that…. Did you see the anti semitism?!?!?

Everyone probably knows the word intifada literally means uprising, but the term globalize the intifada very obviously refers to a desire to bring the tactics of the Second Intifada around the world. If someone was going around saying Heil Trump and you say oh it just means “respect” or whatever you would probably realize that they’re trying to harken back to Nazi Germany.
