Wikipedia defines Intifada as translating from Arabic as "shaking off". Wikipedia goes on to say the Palestinian Intifada ...started as campaigns of civil disobedience, then escalated into a tit-for-tat cycle of of violent reprisals and counter reprisals... Therefore, by definition, Intifada may mean "shaking off" or "uprising", but is also understood to mean a combination of civil disobedience and escalating violence. I think this definition is the popular understanding of the word in America. I totally reject the notion that Intifada can be used as a peaceful term, it carries a well-understood threat inherent in its meaning, namely, we will use any means to achieve our goal, Including violence and murder. When Muslim apologists like Hatem Bazian use this term, they are using the "violent rebellion" meaning and are trying to incite violence in those who are listening. It is irresponsible.
Hatem Bazian called for an Intifada in a public rally in San Francisco in April, then went on Bill O’Reilly TV show and backed away from his inflammatory comments. Frontpagemag.com posted a good digest of Bazian's comments. in the article "Bazian defined Intifada as “shaking off,” willfully ignoring that these days, both in Arabic and in English, it means “violent rebellion.” Of course, this is at best a transparent word game meant to protect his academic position here in America while allowing him to continue calling for violent activities. It fools only the simple minded.
More to come on Hatem Bazian...

Intifada in English means civil resistance... pretty-much how America started with the infamous "Boston Tea Party"! Yeah, when that didn't work, the people began violent resistance which resulted in WAR. Funny, how so many refuse to acknowledge the undeniable fact that International Law can only acknowledge that the Palestinians have every legal right to their intifada. When the world ignores that right and vetoes every opposition to the occupiers' ILLEGAL oppression, then what should you expect? Duh! Oh,let's keep religion out of politics while we debate the REAL issues... the 'American Way'.
Dear Anonymous douchebag commenter:
NO it doesn't. And what do you mean 'Infitada in English means' it means something different in English?
Intifada: an Arabic word meaning “awakening” or “shaking off.”
This is a word they use for violent uprisings, mobbings, violence, attacks, etc., done when they want to DRIVE AWAY and/or destroy non muslims on land they consider 'islamic'. VIOLENCE IS ALWAYS USED.
YOU ARE SO STUPID AND IGNORANT YOU DON'T EVEN REALIZE THERE HAVE BEEN INFITADA'S IN OTHER ARAB COUNTRIES, MANY MANY TIMES. IDIOT!!! You think its only about israel or palestinians? Its about YOU and ME and any country they swarm into.
*Palestinian violence was planned by the PA leadership, and was aimed at "provoking and incurring Palestinian casualties as a means of regaining the diplomatic initiative."**
YES noble indeed, creating a situation guaranteed to cause the death of their own people in order to use it for propaganda. AWESOME.
Palestinian Mufti's conspired with Hitler, gave him plans, designs, etc., on how to get as rid of as many people as possible USING THE SAME PLANS THEY USED IN TURKEY TO KILL MILLIONS OF INDIGENOUS CHRISTIANS. The muslims were gassing people, starving people, burning them alive & throwing them off boats WELL before HITLER was around, or even grown, even born.
YOU think occupation is relevant to muslims? If they live somewhere, they believe YOU are the occupier ALWAYS. They will call YOU an occupier in your own land. The TURKISH supreme court ruled the govt can seize property owned by a christian monastery that was built in year 492 because the ASSYRIANS who BUILT it (their indigenous homeland) ARE OCCUPIERS. IT WAS BUILT MORE THAN A CENTURY BEFORE MOHAMMED WAS EVEN BORN.
THANKS to ignorant twats like you we now have violent muslims from Africa & the middle east burning up cars, buildings & people, throwing rocks at cops, firefighters and public buses and posting pictures calling it ITALIA ARABO INFITADA, Infitada Grecia ARABO, FRANCES ARABO INFITADA. APPARENTLY THEY ARE BEGINNING THE PROCESS OF SHAKING EUROPEANS OFF THEIR OWN FUCKING LAND you IGNORANT PIECE OF GARBAGE. There is nothing CIVIL about arson, assault, murder and RAPE.
A group in Norway wants a SEPARATE country and says 'we shouldn't have to leave and we shouldn't have to live under their laws - so just give us this little piece right here. I'm pretty sure that's what happened to the entire middle east & north africa.
If you are so worried about 'illegal occupation' please remove all Albanian muslims from Serbia, All Turks from 'Turkey, Iraq & Syria' and return that land to the Assyrians, Armenians & Hellenic orthodox greeks, remove all muslims from PUNJAB and return the land to the Maghreb people, remove all arab muslims from North Africa, return Egypt to the COPTs and Libya, Morocco & Algeria to the berber people; Recreate Kurdistan & Balochistan; REMOVE TURKEY FROM CYPRUS immediately; give Kashmir to Kashmiri indigenous people; remove arab muslims from all mid-east countries since every one was taken by force INCLUDING palestine; return IRAN to the Aryans and Zoroastrians; give Western Afghanistan back to real Persians & northern Afghanistan & Pakistan back to China; give the caucuses back to white people; remove all the turks from khazakstan, uzbekistan, azerbijaan, tajikistan, afghanistan & Pakistan, etc., remove indonesian muslms from Papua New Guinea, West & East Timor;
and while you're at it, take every last fucking TURK, PAKI, AFGHAN, SOMALIAN, IRAQI, PALESTINIAN, YEMENI, TUNISIAN, ETHIOPIAN, ERITREAN, SUDANESE, MALI, SAUDI, KENYAN, EGYPTIAN,MOROCCAN, INDIAN, BANGLI, IRANIAN,LEBANESE, ALBANIAN FUCKING MUSLIM OUT OF EUROPE, RUSSIA, AUSTRALIA, CANADA AND THE U.S., bring all the whites in Africa HOME and send the african immigrants back.
The muslims were given Jordan & Syria & the jews were given a TINY piece of land called Israel.
YOU GOT COMPLAINTS? Every single border line in the middle east all the way to pakistan & including Bangladesh was created by THE BRITISH, the majority of those countries did not EXIST PRIOR TO 1947 you IDIOT TOAD. Most of that land was STOLEN from Assyrian Christians, Aryans, Kurds, Balochis and other indigenous people (by TURK, ARAB MUSLIMS)in the first place.
WHY are you so STUPID and SELECTIVE in your ignorant liberal douchebag propaganda bleating?
