Thousands of anti-Israel demonstrators marched through midtown Manhattan, chanting slogans such as 'global intifada,' which many consider an incitement to violence against Jewish communities. The protest, organized by Stand with Gaza, called for an end to aid to Israel and featured chants and signs supporting Palestinian causes. The use of the phrase 'globalize the intifada' has drawn criticism from lawmakers and community leaders, who argue it promotes antisemitic violence, especially in the wake of recent attacks targeting Jewish people in the United States. Bipartisan legislation has been introduced in Congress to formally denounce the phrase and discourage public figures from endorsing it, emphasizing the need to confront hate speech and protect Jewish communities.
