It looks like it's a one-day strike.

I hope many people participate, so that it goes on until a permanent ceasefire is achieved.

Sucks hostages died, but these people should have cared about what their country was doing before it directly affected them.

I think I see what you mean. Still, I believe the priority is for this Genocide to be stopped and Israeli people have the duty I would say, to act towards this direction. General strikes that last long can be a great tool for political pressure.

Definitely but as far as I am concerned the Israeli people have been complicit in this for a long time. Their indifference or outright hatred toward an entire people has caused this and striking now, while a step in the right direction, is very little far too late.
