Anti-Israel Convoy Member Wears ‘INTIFADA 48’ Shirt at Srebrenica Memorial in Bosnia

A member of an anti-Israel convoy aiming to reach Gaza from France was photographed this weekend wearing an “INTIFADA 48” shirt during a stop at the Srebrenica Memorial Center in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

According to a Reuters report, convoy organizers said the purpose the the visit to Srebrenica — where more than 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were massacred by Serb forces in 1995 — was to “draw attention to the war in Gaza and express solidarity with Palestinians.”

In a letter sent to Bosnia and Herzegovina Ambassador to Israel Duško Kovačević on Monday, Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) CEO Sacha Roytman raised alarm over the use of the “intifada” terminology, widely recognized as a incitement to antisemitic violence.

“For Jewish communities worldwide, this word is not an abstract political slogan,” Roytman noted. “It is inseparable from the suicide bombings, shootings, and stabbings of the First and Second Intifadas, in which hundreds of Israeli civilians were killed. Calls for a ‘global intifada’ are used today by extremist groups as calls for violence against Israelis and, increasingly, against Jews in other countries.”

“The right to peaceful demonstration does not extend to normalizing slogans associated with campaigns of terrorism against civilians,” he added. “Bosnia and Herzegovina understands the human cost of unchecked hatred better than most nations. The memory of Srebrenica carries a universal responsibility to reject incitement and the glorification of violence, regardless of the target.”

Roytman asked Ambassador Kovačević to “convey this concern to the relevant authorities and reaffirm Bosnia and Herzegovina’s commitment to rejecting antisemitism, incitement, and the glorification of terrorism.”

“I further hope that future demonstrations in Bosnia and Herzegovina will not permit messages that intimidate Jewish communities,” he concluded.

Our @CombatASemitism team spotted this shirt today in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. “Intifada 48” is a call to erase Israel and kill Jews. We will answer every use of it.

CAM will respond to every public use of this call.
