I really don’t think these are the same group of people. From the article:
The strike was ignored in some areas, reflecting deep political divisions in Israel after nearly 11 months of fighting.
Those are the people you’re thinking of, and they aren’t striking.
I think just about everyone here agrees. But the question is what to do until that becomes available. We need something in the interim; dangerous as this all is, I can’t find it in me to shun it when the alternative is letting people suffer without access to anything as they desperately wait for a better society to emerge in some unknowable, possibly distant future.
