Recent Israeli “peace-seeking” propaganda: Israel is a dove that will stop fighting if Palestinians surrender. If this is a peace proposal, then what is a declaration of war?
“More than two million people across Italy rallied in over 100 cities Friday for a one-day general strike to support the Palestinians in Gaza and a humanitarian aid mission, said Italy's largest union.
Italian unions announced the strike after the Global Sumud Flotilla that was trying to break Israel's naval blockade to deliver aid to Gaza was intercepted by Israeli naval forces this past week.
Protests have sprung globally since then, but they have been particularly strong in Italy.
According to the CGIL union, 300,000 people marched through the streets of Rome alone, while the national average participation in the general strike stood at about 60%, stopping all the main services in key sectors.
About 100,000 people participated in a rally in the northern city of Milan. Clashes erupted after a group of protesters blocking the city's highway started throwing bottles at police, who responded with smoke bombs.

Opposition leader Elly Schlein supported the protests and criticized the government's stance, arguing that Meloni had not sufficiently condemned Israeli actions. Political analysts described the events as an "awakening" for Italy's left-wing forces, demonstrating a significant increase in public militancy on the issue.
