So the president is now condemning the word “intifada” as hate speech. It literally means “shaking off,” as in removing the shackles of the past. For the White House to allow pro-Israel “word police” to define what is & isn’t acceptable language is a dangerous abuse of power

In case the team of crack philologists working for President Biden and his ever-nuanced comms team left their copies at home, here’s the relevant entry from the 4th edition of Hans Wehr’s “A Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic,” which most scholars in the field treat as the standard:
