A political commentator was met with blank stares from anti-Israel protesters at the University of California Los Angeles when he asked them to define the “intifada” they were yelling about.
“You guys are shouting for intifada?” an incredulous Cam Higby asked a group on Friday, as chants could be heard in the background. One masked protester gave a feeble nod but nobody spoke up.
“What is it?” Higby asked the oblivious demonstrators, who were clad in N-95 masks, facial piercings and keffiyeh scarves.
“You guys are proud of shouting for intifada? Yeah? Woo,” he said with a shocked laugh.
Higby later explained the Arabic word meaning “uprising” on X: “The first and second intifadas in the late 80’s-early 90’s and then again in the early 2000’s were responsible for killing thousands of Jewish civilians via suicide bombing at night clubs, shopping malls, markets, and more.”
