In certain institutions and organisations all it would do is paint a target on the back of anyone who didn't want to strike so the authoritarian 'right side of history' mob could make their lives a misery. It sounds like something dreamt up in the politburo.

Oh FFS.

I’m right with you

Bells3032 · 06/11/2023 19:31

Please do. Then you will get fired and less money being sent to Gaza that gets siphoned off to pay terrorists, build rockets and line the pockets of Hamas leaders in Qatar

I propose a digital strike as well, strike a blow by taking the day off Mumsnet. That’ll really show them.

Shhhhivegotasecret · 06/11/2023 19:36

It’s just so ridiculous- an excuse for loads of people to do less than they already do.
There are horrific atrocities everywhere … what else should we strike for?
Seriously it’s insane oh and it’s not genocide either. Only one party has been clear on the genocide they want to commit. It’s horrific for innocent civilians on both sides .. like many other conflicts

DelusionalBrilliance · 06/11/2023 19:39

Who dreams up this nonsense? Well I know exactly the sort actually but I can’t say so or I’ll get banned. I can safely say I reckon it’s the same type who glue themselves to the road for just stop oil, achieves about the same effect, too.

Biscuitnut - I am howling! What next, strike for Ukraine perhaps? Fuck all do with us but damn it I want a day off and we all know when British postmen stop work the world absolutely shits itself.

I completely agree.

DelusionalBrilliance · 06/11/2023 19:42

Do they think wee Rishi will be straight on the phone to Netanyahu “mate you need to ceasefire, Pete the postman didn’t do his post round and Tracey didn’t turn up for her lollipop lady shift, absolute carnage here”

bookworm14 · 06/11/2023 19:42

Hamas has genocide of the Jewish people explicitly written into its constitution. I didn’t see anyone organising a strike for the victims of 7th October.

Nanalisa60 · 06/11/2023 19:46

O give me strength !! No I won’t be bloody striking !!

Tigerteal · 06/11/2023 19:48

@bookworm14 and there is no Need to.

people are asking for a ceasefire and release of hostages. So that all innocent humans can be safe going forward.

a lot of people have died already, not just on the 7th october to this day. But before then, when Israel set foot on Palestinian land. We can mourn the dead when the remaining living are safe

It is a lot of ours war though. And turning a blind eye to genocide isn't something that sits right with hopefully a very large proportion of people.

It's a message. By ignoring everything and saying 'what good will it do' we are doing nothing. And, imo, that is not okay. Just my opinion.

As you don't turn a blind eye to genocide please can you let us onow when you're organising strikes/protests against China for their genocide of the Uighyurs?

Tigerteal · 06/11/2023 19:52

@DelusionalBrilliance sorry you’re right, the Israelis took that from them too.

🙂

bearofepic · 06/11/2023 19:52

@SharonEllis whataboutery, a tired distraction technique.

Tigerteal · 06/11/2023 19:52

@SharonEllis because our government doesn’t support encourage and fund them

Howling?
I wish I was so easily amused. Life would be more fun!

Anyway, no I won’t take a day off work. I am needed in the NHS. This government doesn’t take notice of strikes.

That's the definition of turning a blind eye 'nothing to do with me guv'?! Do you not think by buying vast amounts of Chinese goods we are funding the Chinese?

Tigerteal · 06/11/2023 16:37

@biscuitnut this war was created by England so yes, England is responsible

Would you like to expand on this?

Forkz · 06/11/2023 20:01

Nah, it’s because this conflict involves Jews. Have you also propose a strike for the 400,000+ (including children) who have died in Yemen in the ongoing conflict there? Didn’t think so…

bearofepic · 06/11/2023 20:01

@SharonEllis whataboutery may be a good distraction technique from Israel's war crimes but it's tired and old now. come on.

Lovepeaceunderstanding · 06/11/2023 20:02

Not a cat in hell’s chance that will make the slightest difference to our government’s rightful position on this subject.
