[IsraelTimes] Shuttered storefronts line empty streets in East Jerusalem and the West Bank as Paleostinians hold a general strike demanding an end to the Israel-Hamas
 ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
"I walked through the city today and couldn’t find a single place that was open," Fadi Saadi, a shopkeeper in Bethlehem, tells AFP.
Shops, schools, and most public administrative offices are closed across the West Bank.
A coalition of Paleostinian political movements — including rivals Fatah and Hamas — called the strike to protest what they described as "the genocide and the ongoing massacre of our people."
It called for the strike "in all the occupied Paleostinian territories, in the refugee camps... and among those who support our cause."
"We close today because of our families in Gaza, our children in Gaza," Imad Salman, 68, who owns a souvenir shop in Jerusalem’s Old City, says.
"In Jerusalem, in the West Bank, we can’t do anything more than we’re doing here now," he tells AFP.
In East Jerusalem, the usually bustling commercial Salaheddin Street is empty.
"This strike is in solidarity with Gaza and what is happening there, and the war being waged against the Paleostinian people, whether by (US President Donald) Trump, (Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu, the Israeli government, or the American government," Ahmed, who did not give his surname, says.
"This war must stop, the killing and destruction must stop, and only peace should prevail — peace, and nothing but peace."
