Intifada

Intifada translates to 'uprising'. For Palestinians, Intifada refers to a civil uprising against a brutal and genocidal occupation. The First Intifada began in December of 1987 and started in the Jabalia Refugee Camp in Gaza. This included non-violent protest, civil disobedience, and Palestinians refusing to go to work in 'Israel' or for their 'Israeli' employers. The Second Intifada started in 2000 and lasted almost 5 years.
