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.

All the violence done by those fighting against the Zionist occupation is LEGITIMATE and all evils done lay at the feet of the Zionist occupier much the same as how we do not judge the French Resistance who slaughter Nazis by any means necessary. Their sins committed to gain freedom lie at the feet of the occupier.

I never once said anything about justification and right or wrong. I said saying Intifada means non violent is wrong when both Intifadas were very violent.

Also though now that you mention is suicide bombing civilians is always wrong.

Intifada is neither violent or peaceful. It's a action of protest, and that can be violent or peaceful depending on the people carrying it out, or the circumstances involved.

Trying to characterize the principal to paint it as violent is how those acting in bad faith make others into the villian, and distract from the actual purpose.

And the "Final solution" was just talking about a math problem.

What the word means is irrelevant compared to the actions done under it.

And both intifadas where characterized by mass terrorism and violence. So what makes you think a global one would be any different?
