AS I write, Palestinians are embarking on a general strike against Israel’s current war on Gaza and the wider occupation, colonial settlements and human rights abuses that dominate the lives of Palestinian people.
Huge numbers of Palestinians both inside of the occupied territories as well as those living in Israel itself have joined the strike in a tremendous show of unity for their common goal of a Palestinian state and a life free of Israeli state oppression.
Palestine has the right to exist but it is a right that successive Israeli governments have made less and less feasible — both through the direct military assaults, as we are seeing on Gaza right now, but also through decades of land grabs, expulsions of people from their homes and military checkpoints that determine where Palestinians can and can’t move.
