The head of Israel’s Histadrut labour union, which represents hundreds of thousands of public sector workers, called for a general strike beginning at 6am on Monday to pressure the government into reaching a deal to return Israeli hostages still held by Hamas in Gaza, Reuters reported. Arnon Bar-David called on all civilian workers to join the strike and said Ben Gurion airport, Israel’s main air transport hub, would be closed from 8am.
Israeli universities will close tomorrow and join tomorrow’s strike, according to the Times of Israel.
We are getting body bags instead of a deal. I have come to the conclusion that only our intervention might move those who need to be moved. I call on the people of Israel to go out to the streets tonight and tomorrow and for everyone to take part in the strike.
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum earlier today called on the public, “to join a massive demonstration, demanding a complete shutdown of the country”. Israel’s Manufacturers’ Association said it supported a strike and criticised the government for failing to bring hostages back alive, which it called a “moral duty”. The Tel Aviv, Kfar Saba and Givatayim municipalities have all said they will join a nationwide strike in support of hostage families tomorrow, according to the Times of Israel.
Ah, Netanyahu really is bringing the people together - united in their condemnation of his conduct in office, his conduct of the War in Gaza and his conduct with the UN who continue to criticise his actions leading to war crimes in Gaza. Hamas has offered to release the hostages in return for an end to the war, the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and the release of a large number of Palestinian prisoners, including high-profile militants.

"More than 300,000 people attended a demonstration in Tel Aviv calling for the Israeli government to agree a ceasefire deal, according to organisers, the Hostage Families Forum.
The organisation wrote on X that the people of Israel "demand the return of our brothers and sisters", sharing a picture of the huge crowds that had turned up.
Other photos showed people lighting fires and setting off coloured flares, while others carried signs that read "bring them home".
Demonstrators are believed to have descended on one of the city's major motorways, the Ayalon Highway, with cars at a standstill.
The demonstration took place hours after the funerals for some of the six hostages found dead in Gaza began to take place"
Bibi the war criminal can only be taken down from within...
All power to the majority of Israelis who are decent peace loving people!

Wrong. And they liked and respected me. Look at the quals they got. Just to think, those degree educated teachers in their schools couldn’t do anything for those kids. Couldn’t even control them. I sorted them out and they were ready for the world of work or further education when they left me. Always sad to see them go.

Who shot those hostages?
Are you suggesting it was the same IDF that shot unarmed people trying to surrender?
The same IDF that bombs hospitals and refugee camps?
The same IDF that shoots an unarmed grandmother holding a white flag in one hand and a small child in the other?
The same IDF that uses a tank machine gun to kill a small girl calling for help in the wreckage of her family car?
The same IDF that fires a tank shell into an ambulance coming to save her, blowing the paramedics to pieces?
The same IDF that assassinates unarmed journalists?
The same IDF that organises torture and sexual abuse of chained captives?
The same IDF that used tanks and helicopter gunships to slaughter residents in a kibbutz in October?
The same IDF that destroys water supplies and sewage works to spread disease?
Perhaps so.
No reason why not.
No. I asked who shot those Israeli hostages or don’t you care as they were members of the state of Israel and you don't like them, do you?

Israel claims an autopsy determined the hostages had been shot at close range in the head, suggesting their Hamas captors decided to make sure they would be the first to die before accepting their own martyrdom. Believe who you will but...
Menachem Klein, professor of political science at Israel’s Bar-Ilan University, blamed Netanyahu and his cabinet for “refusing” to strike a deal to secure the release of the captives, a move he said had “signed [the Israeli captives’] death sentence. Israel refuses to come down to reality,” he told Al Jazeera. “That’s the problem. And it cost the life of Israeli hostages.” The Israeli publication YNet quoted an unnamed Israeli official as saying that three of the captives who were killed were on a list approved by Hamas on July 2 for release. Al Jazeera, however, could not independently verify the report.
Thank you for a straight answer to a straight question. So rare on here these days.
It all depends if you believe an IDF spokesman who has form in repeating half-truths and outright falsehoods on behalf of his Zionist paymasters: Soldiers have already been found out in shooting hostages in the heat of battle - a free gift for Hamas to deny any culpability.
I don’t believe they would shoot and kill 6 hostages they were going in to save.
