intifada

  • /ˌɪntɪˈfɑːdə/

Where it comes from

Borrowed from Arabic اِنْتِفَاضَة (intifāḍa, “shaking off, uprising, insurrection”).

noun intifadas · intefadah · intifadah · Intifada

  1. An insurrection; a usually violent attempt to take control of a government.
  2. An uprising, resistant struggle, or rebellious protest.
  3. capitalized, often, specifically The Palestinian uprisings against Israel. Indeed, violence broke out in the occupied territories in mid-May 2000 as Palestinians observed the anniversary of the 1948 nakba—these disturbances paled in comparison to the second intifada, which erupted in the autumn.
