Journalists and activists in Gaza have called for a Global general strike to demand an immediate ceasefire as Israel continues its relentless war on Gaza. They asked people not to go to work, school, or university.
Palestinians in the Occupied West Bank have responded. The strike spread throughout cities in the West Bank today, paralyzing all aspects of life, including public transportation, while universities, banks, and shops were closed.
Joining the #PalestineStrike and day of action today, Philly ABC extends solidarity to the people of Palestine in their struggle for liberation. We urge support for organizations on the front lines of defending people from imprisonment – Addameer and Samidoun, as well as #PalestinianPoliticalPrisoners including Ahmad Sa’adat, Layan Kayed, Khalida Jarrar, Khitam Saafin, Georges Ibrahim Abdallah, and Dr. Issam Hijjawi Bassalat.

Joining the #PalestineStrike and day of action today, Philly ABC extends solidarity to the people of Palestine in their struggle for liberation. Israel’s ongoing policies of apartheid and ethnic cleansing demonstrate to the world that settler colonialism is alive and well and needs to be condemned and confronted in every way possible. We vehemently support the rights to self-determination and self-defense for Palestinian people, and denounce Israel’s militarized police and egregious imprisonment practices including ‘administrative detention.
