GLOBALIZE THE INTIFADA! We’ll keep saying it until Palestine is free and Zionist / settler colonial “discourse” and champions of it, like Jesse the Clown [Jesse Brown], are held to account and buried under a shit pile of shame. #cndpoli #ZionistsAreTerrorists
The statement from University-Rosedale regarding Palestine references a post by Jesse Brown, Editor and Publisher of Canadaland, dated December 18, 2025:
Vile, reckless and stupid. https://x.com/NoLore/status//NoLore/status/2001727118980337854
Jesse Brown’s statement referred to journalist Nora Loreto’s deleted X post from December 18, 2025:
Anyway let’s globalize the intifada at the Globe and Mail first.
Background on the Palestinian Intifadas
The First Intifada, also known as the Stone Intifada, began in December 1987. It involved violent confrontations with Israeli forces, including roadblocks, ambushes, and the throwing of stones, rocks, metal rods, and Molotov cocktails at Israeli military and civilian vehicles. Other forms of resistance included stabbing attacks, sabotage operations, setting fires to forests, agricultural land, and industrial facilities, as well as shooting attacks.
The Second Intifada, referred to as the al-Aqsa Intifada, started in September 2000. This period included numerous violent activities, such as hundreds of suicide bombings, thousands of shooting incidents, launching rockets and mortar shells at Israeli communities, firing RPGs, and planting explosive charges and mines.
The Third Intifada, also known as the al-Quds Intifada or Knife Intifada, lasted from September 13, 2015, to May 7, 2017. During this time, 49 individuals were killed in terrorist attacks, and 731 people (including 4 Palestinians) were injured. The violence included 177 stabbing attacks, 117 attempted stabbings, 144 shootings, 58 vehicular ramming attacks, and one bus bombing.
April 2023 – The leader of Hamas issued a threatening message directed towards Jews in the diaspora
On April 14, 2023, an event was held in Gaza to commemorate International Quds Day under the slogan “The [West] Bank is the shield of Jerusalem.”
The main theme of the speech delivered by Hamas leader in Gaza Yahya Sinwar centered on the religious war he claims will erupt in the region against Israel and the Jewish people. Sinwar spoke about Palestinians fighting against Jews in Palestine, employing language that reflects Islamic religious traditions related to the expected battle against infidels. This rhetoric ties into Hamas’s vision of the End of Days, which they also refer to as their military operational plan for the “liberation of Palestine.”
Sinwar stated that Palestinians would come in a “roaring flood” (Tufan al-Hadir – طوفان هادر) to liberate Palestine, which is why the October 7 attack was named “Al-Aqsa Flood” (Tufan al-Aqsa – طوفان الأقصى).
He expressed high praise for Iran and Hezbollah, highlighting their crucial role in the “Axis of Resistance” and their support for Hamas. During the event, a speech by Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi for Quds Day was presented on screen.
The following are excerpts from Sinwar’s speech:
Our strategic path of the Axis of Resistance is demonstrated in our preparations for the great campaign, the Campaign of the End of Days. We are strengthening the resistance’s power in Gaza through the grace of Allah, along with financial, logistical, and professional support from Iran.
We and our allies in the ‘Jerusalem Axis’ have already made significant progress in preparing for the imminent End of Days—the liberation of Palestine—especially now that most Arab and Islamic regimes have neglected their duty to defend Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. As it is mentioned: ‘And they say: When will this be? [the End of Days].’ Say: Perhaps it is near. At that time, during the Campaign of the End of Days, there will be a powerful surge (Tufan al-Hadir) of countless missiles, an innumerable number of soldiers, and millions from our [Islamic] nation arriving wave after wave.
I want to deliver a special message to Jews around the world who deny the actions of the fascist, terrorist occupation government. Raise your voices against its policies, boycott it, and compel it to change its course. You are among the first who could suffer from the fires of the religious war they are igniting.
October 2023 – The Islamic Jihad has issued threats to murder Jews globally
On October 11, 2023, Abu Hamza, the spokesperson of Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Islamic Jihad, issued an official statement that included a message to Jews (“Zionists”) in the diaspora:
Oh, Zionists, you do not know that we have prepared for you outside Palestine as well as inside Palestine. What you have seen in the Gaza envelope [Al-Aqsa Flood attack on the Jewish communities bordering the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023], you will see, Allah willing, in other arenas.
2025 – Hamas conspired to carry out attacks against Jewish targets in Europe
On November 19, 2025, the Israeli Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations, known as the Mossad, revealed information about the involvement of Hamas leadership based in Qatar in the creation of a terrorist network across Europe. The details of this operation are outlined below:
In a special operation by the Austrian State Security and Intelligence Directorate (DSN) in Vienna last September, a weapons hideout containing handguns and explosive devices was uncovered and confiscated. The investigation of those involved revealed that the items hidden in the cache belonged to Hamas operative Muhammad Na’im, the son of senior Hamas Political Bureau member abroad, Basem Na’im, who is close to Khalil al-Hayya, the Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip. The involvement of the organization’s leadership from Qatar in promoting terrorist activities is not being exposed for the first time, even though the movement’s senior officials have repeatedly denied it publicly, as part of their effort to protect the image of the Hamas organization in the eyes of international public opinion.
As part of the investigation that exposed Muhammad Na’im’s responsibility for building the terrorist infrastructure in Vienna, additional information emerged regarding a meeting held in Qatar between him and his father, Basem Na’im, a senior Hamas leader, last September. The meeting between the two at that time indicates a possible involvement of the Hamas leadership in promoting terrorism in Europe, with authorization for the movement’s operatives to advance terrorism with authority and sanction. The sweeping denials by the movement’s leadership on this matter can only attest to the leadership’s loss of control over its rogue operatives.
