A general strike in Israel to protest the failure to return hostages held in Gaza led to closures and other disruptions around the country on Monday, but it was ignored in some areas, reflecting deep political divisions.
Israel’s largest trade union, the Histadrut, called for the general strike, the first since the start of the war. It aimed to shut down or disrupt major sectors of the economy, including banking, health care and the country’s main airport. But it ended early after a labor court ruled it must stop in mid-afternoon in response to a government petition calling the strike politically motivated.
Hundreds of thousands of Israelis poured into the streets Sunday in grief and anger after six hostages were found dead in Gaza. The families and much of the public blamed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying they could have been returned alive in a deal with Hamas to end the nearly 11-month-old war.
It’s just israelis cockiness, they didn’t take the threat seriously rather than just allowing it to happen
Either way they are lying about it
Either way they knew and Netanyahu’s incompetence got his own people killed. He should not have a job.
The October 7 attack was horrible but it’s pretty convenient for Netanyahu to be incompetent at that time. Polls showed most people were against the 2023 Israeli Judicial Reform. One of the most out spoken groups were the millennials and Gen-Zers, the ones most likely to attend the Nova Music Festival.

“Bin Laden determined to attack United States.”
Considering al-Qaeda attacked the World Trade Center twice while bin Laden was general, that statement is correct.
Correct, and Bush ignored the warning.
