Palestinians go on strike amid airstrikes, rocket fire
By Jordan Williams - 05/18/21 08:41 AM EDT

Palestinians went on strike on Tuesday to protest Israeli policies denying Palestinians the rights afforded to Jews.

The strikes comes against the backdrop of continued violence in the region, with Hamas launching rocket fire at Israel and Israel launching air strikes at Gaza in response.

The Associated Press reported that Palestinians in Israel, East Jerusalem and the West Bank were observing a general strike intended to protest the Israeli policies.

One of the strike’s organizers, Muhammad Barakeh, told the AP that Palestinians were expressing a “collective position” against Israel’s “aggression in Gaza and Jerusalem, as well as “brutal repression” by police across Israel.

Israel has blamed the current war on Hamas, accusing it of inciting violence across the region. The strike was backed by the Palestinian Authority, which is occupied in the West Bank, according to AP. Hamas is designated as a terrorist group by the United States.

I don't have a dog in this fight @Wingnut  I'd just as easily post news from the Israeli side, but this is already being done by others.

As Golda Meir said long ago, peace will come when the Arab-Palis love their children more than they hate Jews.

I became instantaneously tired of the whole "Palestinian" game on September 11, 2001.

No sympathy left to give, from a store that was remarkably bare in the first place.

They want to attack the children of other people?  Then stop whining when their victims, who are better armed, shoot back at the children of the "Palestinians".

Wipe them all out, then the argument is over, I say.

If nothing else, Israel has mastered the art of propaganda.
