- 1因蒂法達(巴勒斯坦大起義)
Intifada is the name English borrowed for a Palestinian uprising against Israeli control of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The one this word most often points to started in 1987: people, including many young people, protested for years with strikes, refusals, and street clashes. In Arabic the word means a shaking-off or rising-up. English took it as a name for those events, so it feels like a history-and-news word and is often written with a capital letter. Though actually, there was a second, later Intifada that began in 2000, and news writers sometimes stretch the word to later of protest too. In Arabic it can be a more general word for an uprising; in school English, though, it is not a loose word for any demonstration. It points to this conflict and these years.
組成Borrowed from Arabic intifāḍa, “shaking off, uprising.”
