Intifada (Arabic: انتفاضة intifāḍah) is an Arabic word for a rebellion or uprising, or a resistance movement. It can be used to refer to an uprising against oppression.[1][2]
The 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is called an intifada in Arabic.[3] The word intifada was first used in modern times in 1952, when Iraqi parties took to the streets to protest their monarchy, which was known as the Iraqi Intifada.[4] Other later examples include the Western Sahara's Zemla Intifada, the First Sahrawi Intifada, and the Second Sahrawi Intifada.[5]
In the Israeli-Palestinian conflict context, it refers to uprising by Palestinian people against Israeli occupation or Israel, involving violent or nonviolent methods of resistance, including the First Intifada (1987–1993) and the Second Intifada (2000–2005).[6][7][8]
