WATCH: Pro-Hamas UCLA students chant 'intifada'
'Intifada' refers to Palestinian militant and terrorist attacks against Israelis organized by the Palestinian Liberation Organization.
Pro-Hamas students at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) chanted “intifada” at a rally on campus Thursday.
Ariel Jalali, a lecturer at UCLA, shared a video of the rally on X (formerly Twitter). The video shows hundreds of students marching on campus. The marchers can be heard chanting, “Intifada! Intifada!”
🚨As a @UCLA alum, part time lecturer and Jew, I find the chanting of “intifada, intifada!” disgusting in the wake of the barbaric terror attacks in #israel and Hamas call for violence against Jews globally.

”Intifada” refers to Palestinian militant and terrorist attacks against Israelis organized by the Palestinian Liberation Organization. The two waves of violence occurred 1987-1993 and 2000-2005, with the latter resulting in Israel’s departure from the Gaza Strip and Hamas’ takeover of power in the region.
