#GeneralStrike in Italy Calls for Embargo on Israel and Severing of Ties
Tens of thousands of Italians walked off the job on Monday in a sweeping general strike that spread across more than 75 cities, halting trains, closing schools and blocking ports. The strike, organized by grassroots unions and student groups, was one of the #largest coordinated #actions in #Italy in decades and was aimed at pressuring the government to impose an embargo on #Israel and cut all political and economic ties.
