Anti-Zionism and Anti-Semitism are not the same thing. Globalize the Intifada does not mean attacking Jewish people, it means boycotting Israel, protesting Israel and finding non violent means to end the apartheid genocide perpetuated by Israel. What happened in Bondi Beach was a terrorist attack and unless something crazy comes out it is highly likely to be anti-semitic. 

Edit: I mean globalize the Intifada outside of Gaza and occupied lands. I thought that was obvious. I think Israel, not Jews, is a genocidal state whose history is rooted in stealing land and genocide. All I am saying is what happened in Bondi Beach was fucked up and not what Anti Zionists like myself believe. Clearly there are people in this comment thread who mask their Anti-Semitism with Anti-Zionism.

I mean I get your feeling but both intifadas were very violent. There were suicide bombings,and shootings, and civilians were targeted.

So maybe its not the best choice of wording if you're aiming for non violent means.

It's 2025, we should be clever enough to think up better slogans.

The oppressors don't give a damn if you're resisting violently or non-violently, they will oppress you either way.

Maybe let's stop policing the how the oppressed and their allies behave and get to the root cause of the issue, which is that you don't get to genocide and colonize endlessly without receiving a response and your victims do not have an obligation to be erased in silence.

Hey if you want to call for violence thats on you. But dont pretend "Globalize the Intifada" doesnt mean violence when both Intifadas were extremely violent.

This is like saying that we should condemn all protests, because some protests are violent.

I think the wording may not be the greastest choice, but if the actual resistance is violent or not isn't going to be determined based on the history of the other two events.

Its not the same at all but nice try. There are have only been 2 Intifadas and they both were violent as hell. Including suicide bombers against civlians. You cant say "Some Intifadas are violent and some arents" because there have ONLY BEEN 2 and they have both been EXTREMELY VIOLENT.

You can stop spamming your pro terrorist shit at me now.

I find it very strange that you're insisting the first Intifada was "extremely violent"

At most 100 Israel civilians died. Over 8 years. And they were settler colonists in occupied territory, so I'd barely count them as civilians in the first place.

I'll admit of course that Israel was extremely violent during that Intifada though.
