We can’t ignore the danger from those who want to ‘globalize the intifada.' We need to take action

Americans are now used to hearing chants of "globalize the intifada" in American cities and campuses. It has become so normalized that even a leading mayoral candidate in New York City feels comfortable downplaying the phrase as an expression of "a desperate desire for equality and equal rights." That is jarring enough. But as evidence mounts of an actual intifada – an anti-Israel, Jew-hating terror campaign, waged on our shores – it is past time to take those demonstrations, and their rhetoric, seriously.
