General strike in Israel

In response to Hamas recently killing six hostages — hostages that could have been returned safely if not for Benjamin Netanyahu prioritizing the nearly indiscriminate bombing of civilians — there will be a major strike in Israel tomorrow:

Much of Israel’s economy was set to grind to a halt Monday morning, after major labor unions announced a strike and many businesses suspended their services to protest the government, laying bare a growing schism among Israelis over their leaders’ reluctance to swiftly agree to a cease-fire with Hamas.

In the broadest expression of anti-government dissent since the war began, union chiefs and business leaders have joined forces to pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel to agree to a truce in Gaza that could facilitate the release of roughly 100 hostages still held there by Hamas. Most schools, many businesses and the nation’s largest airport were set to close.

Their plans for a joint action echoed a national outpouring of grief, fury and protest after the bodies of six hostages were recovered in Gaza over the weekend. Advocates for the hostages and critics of Mr. Netanyahu argued that a cease-fire agreement could have saved their lives.

Warmongers always promise security but they much more rarely deliver.
