Intifada (First and Second)

Coming from an Arabic term meaning ‘shaking off,’ the word intifada is used to refer to Palestinian uprisings. There have been two major Palestinian Intifadas against ongoing Israeli colonization and occupation. The first is known by many as the ‘Intifada of the Stones’ (1987-1993), and the second as the ‘Al-Aqsa Intifada’ (2000-2005).
