Italy shuts down over Palestine, Meloni defiant
75+ Italian cities just went on national strike. Complete shutdown of transport, education, logistics. Millions in the streets demanding recognition of Palestinian statehood, an arms embargo on Israel, sanctions on Netanyahu, and an end to the genocide in Gaza.
Police response was predictable: tear gas and crackdowns at Milan's central station. But the real power move came from dock workers who blocked ports to prevent weapon shipments to Israel.
Meloni refused to recognize Palestine. Italians answered by paralyzing the country.
This is what organized resistance looks like when a population decides something matters more than normal operations.
