Condemning the slogan "Globalize the Intifada" as a call to violence against Israeli and Jewish people across the world and urging United States national, State, and local leaders to condemn it as such.
H. Res. 588 is a non-binding House of Representatives resolution that condemns the slogan “Globalize the Intifada” as a call to violence against Israeli and Jewish people worldwide and urges national, state, and local leaders to condemn it as such. The measure provides context by discussing the meaning of the term “intifada,” references past periods of violence associated with that term, and cites incidents related to antisemitism and violence against Israelis and Jewish people. It characterizes the slogan as promoting violence and calls for those committed to Middle East peace to refrain from endorsing it and for demonstrations to denounce participants who display or chant it. As a resolution, it expresses the sense of the House rather than creating new law or imposing obligations.
