The term ''Intifada'', in context of the [[Israeli–Palestinian conflict]] refers to major Palestinian uprisings against Israeli control, with the [[First Intifada]] occurring between 1987 and 1993 and the [[Second Intifada]] between 2000 and 2005, both involving numerous attacks against Israeli civilians and security forces.

The phrase "[[Globalize the Intifada]]" is a slogan used to promote worldwide activism in solidarity with the Palestinian resistance. The chant and its associated chants have caused controversy, particularly concerning their impact and connotations. Critics claimed it encourages widespread violence or terrorism.<ref name="JNS">{{cite web |date=March 31, 2022 |title=Amid terror wave in Israel, New York BDS group calls to 'globalize intifada' at rally |url=https://www.jns.org/amid-terror-wave-in-israel-new-york-bds-group-calls-to-globalize-intifada-at-rally/ |website=JNS}}</ref><ref name="JewishJournal">{{cite web |title=Pro-Palestinian NYC Rally Features "Globalize the Intifada" Chants |url=https://jewishjournal.com/news/339317/pro-palestinian-nyc-rally-features-globalize-the-intifada-chants/ |access-date=November 12, 2023 |website=Jewish Journal |date=2 August 2021 |archive-date=12 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231112111750/https://jewishjournal.com/news/339317/pro-palestinian-nyc-rally-features-globalize-the-intifada-chants/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Forward2">{{cite web |author=Luke Tress |date=October 25, 2023 |title=Antisemitic incidents have spiked in New York since Hamas attack on Israel, NYPD says |url=https://forward.com/fast-forward/566798/antisemitic-incidents-have-spiked-in-new-york-since-hamas-attack-on-israel-nypd-says/ |website=The Forward}}</ref>
