Original Note:
Rep. Stefanik is equating calls for "intifada" made on campuses, with calls for Jewish genocide. In the Palestinian context, the word refers to attempts to "shake off" the Israeli occupation of the West Bank (illegal) and Gaza Strip, not Jewish genocide. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSaJRyNZ_UI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intifada https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_occupation_of_the_West_Bank#:~:text=The%20legal%20status%20of%20the,began%2C%20it%20has%20become%20illegal
