Pro-Palestinian demonstrations have been taking place in countries throughout the world, with so-called “civilized” Western citizens calling to “globalize the intifada.”
A clip of Fathi Hamad, a Hamas leader and former Interior Minister, speaking several years ago reveals exactly what “globalizing the intifada” means – attacking and murdering Jews worldwide.
The video shows him calling to attack Jews around the world and inciting the Arabs of Yehudah and Shomron to murder Jews.
“There are Jews everywhere,” he says. “We must attack every Jew on the face of the planet! We must slaughter and kill them, G-d willing! Enough of being angry. We’re fed up already. We’re ready to explode [the literal sense of the word]. And you, the people of the West Bank: How long will you keep silent?”
“We want to see knives – they’re only five shekels! How much is a Jew’s neck worth? Five shekels? Or even less, G-d willing. All our people are ready to be blown up. We’ve built a new factory for explosive belts. The off/on switch is ready for the moment…all our sisters are ready to carry explosive belts.”
In the video below, students at Columbia University in New York call for “intifada, intifada.”

Calling for intifada isn’t that grounds for arrest on incitement charges?
And here we were being told Anti Zionism is NOT anti semitism. And that they only take issue with Israel, nothing to do with Jews and they love Jews….Prepare for war
has this guy blown himself up yet?
He should practice what he preaches…
Incitement is not illegal in the United States (the Democrats are using the sedition laws to prosecute incite based on the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol – if the Supreme Court upholds them then calling for anything the government dislikes might be prosecutable, just like in China and Russia).
Some countries with less of a tradition of civil liberties than the United States could consider prosecution under the local laws the criminalize violation of public international law (e.g. the Convention against Genocide) regardless of where they took place.
What the speaker is calling for is to kill Jews. It might not be illegal, but the government could sue the university that hosted the speech or displayed the video, for deliberate creating a hostile work environment for Jewish employees, and for creating a hostile environment for Jewish students. Individuals might be able to sue but only if something bad happened to them.
