"Globalize the Intifada" is led by an NYU adjunct professor who openly advocates violence

Amin Husain is an adjunct professor at New York University where he teaches .Art and the Practice is Freedom and Art, Activism and Beyond.

He teaches "Activism and Practice of Freedom" at the Pratt Institute.

He also gives a class titled "Race, Class, and Ethnicity in the Media" at The New School.

Oh, and Amin Husain also openly promotes violence around the world.

He is a founder and lead organizer of "Decolonize This Place" which has been pushing the slogan "Globalize the Intifada."

Decolonize social media has explicit calls to violence and rioting- not only against "Zionists" but against anyone they declare the enemy, like the police or the New York subway system.




Decolonize This Place actually publishes their mindless antisemitic chants to destroy Israel and support terrorism, in case the idiots at their rallies can't repeat after the person with the bullhorn.


They try to walk the line between advocating violence and pretending to be pacifists to attract followers. So while the poster above says it is "anti-war" they also say - even in these chants - that terrorism is "justified." 

Husain openly advocated violence, as well as the cynical attempt to hijack Black issues, at  a 2016 Al Quds Day rally to Muslims at Times Square where he said, "One thing is certain: boycott, divestment and sanctions is changing the conversation and it's creating a new set of relationships and it connects us to the black liberation struggle in this country, and it gets around the idea of violence and non-violence which no one should judge each other on, and the days in which they call you terrorists...We're Muslims, proud Muslims, fighting for justice, and in all the ways possible, and yes jihadis, jihadis in all the ways possible.....  don't let anyone tell you that you need to renounce your brother or sister because they're fighting in a way that's unacceptable."

This poster from Decolonize This Space openly advocates methods and tools of violent rioting.




Last year, Husain scrubbed his social media posts after his followers caused $100,000 of damage to NYC subways to delete direct calls for violence. 

He has also publicly met with a major Islamic Jihad figure.

"Globalize the Intifada" means exactly what it sounds like: mainstream Palestinian-style terrorism worldwide, in the name of a fake "justice."
