Words and phrases mean different things to different people.

Calling for intifada for example just means a call for "struggle" and has little to do with violence (first intifada). But others hear it and think of the second intifada which consisted of large amounts of civilian violence and deaths.

At best, someone protesting should probably aim to not make the jobs of bad faith pundits any easier by using inflammatory language. Don't get me wrong, they'll still try and people will still fall for it. But again, don't make it easy.

Also best for those who are hurt by the words, to keep in mind that some people don't mean it in a hurtful way.
