Look up intifada in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Intifada is an Arabic word for shaking off, though it is generally translated into English as rebellion. As the Washington Post explained, 'intifada' in Arabic is a "valid term for popular resistance to oppression." [1]
It may refer to:
- 1990s Intifada, an uprising in Bahrain demanding a return to democratic rule.
- 1991 uprisings in Iraq against Saddam Hussein.
- Cedar Revolution or Intifada of Independence, the events in Lebanon after Rafiq Hariri's assassination.
- First Intifada, a Palestinian uprising against Israeli rule in 1987 to 1993.
- French Intifada, an occasional American term for riots in France in the fall of 2005.
- Independence Intifada, demonstrations and riots in Morocco and Western Sahara beginning in May 2005.
- March Intifada, a Leftist uprising against the British colonial presence in Bahrain in March 1965.
- Second, or al-Aqsa Intifada, the violent Palestinian-Israeli conflict that began in September of 2000.
- Zemla Intifada against Spanish rule in Spanish Sahara, beginning in 1970.
