What does the word "Intifada" mean?

Why is there no information about suicide bombing on EI?
This question is most commonly posed in the form "Why are there no articles about suicide bombing on EI?" or "Why did you report this attack on Palestinians and not report a suicide bombing on [date]?". The assumption that EI does not report, or take any stands on, suicide bombings is factually incorrect. EI explains what we do, and why we do what we do. (Added 17 January 2005)
