Keir Starmer re protest chant as pro Palestinians march in the UK:
“I will defend the right of peaceful protest very strongly and freedom of speech. I have defended those principles all my life and I will continue to do so. And so I’m not stepping back from that one bit.
“But if you are on a march or a protest where people are chanting, ‘globalise the intifada’, you do have to stop and ask yourself, why am I not calling this out? Why am I on a march where this is the chant? And I do think it’s time for people just to ask themselves that.”
The meaning of the word ‘intifada’:
The word “intifada” is an Arabic term that translates to “uprising” or “rebellion,” often referring to a popular protest movement against oppression. In the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it specifically denotes the Palestinian uprisings against Israeli occupation, characterized by both violent and nonviolent resistance.
