Media shocked to learn 'global intifada' means killing people around the globe

In the light of recent worldwide terror attacks targeting Jews, world media almost came to the brink of realizing that words mean things. Several major outlets were reportedly stunned to discover that "global intifada" means killing people around the globe – as opposed to just a description of youth activism. After months of thinking that "intifada" referred to interpretive dancing, the press faced the possibility that slogans sometimes function as instructions.

Institutions of higher learning responded in their customary dialect: Harvard upgraded antisemitism from "unfounded concern" to "complex context," which is academia's way of admitting something exists while insisting it's rude to describe it. The new guidance encourages students to process hate as an ambience, like humidity.

University officials issued statements condemning violence and urging students to avoid "harmful specificity," "jumping to adjectives," "noticing patterns," or "assigning motives" to motives. As one tenured professor noted, violence is bad, but clarity is worse: "Please do not name anything, describe anything, or connect anything to anything."
