East Jerusalemites urged to skip work in western part of city
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA flyer being circulated on social media is calling on East Jerusalem residents to stop going to their jobs in West Jerusalem, Haaretz reports.
The notice isn’t signed by a political group, but rather “Jerusalem families,” and calls on the workers to play hooky until further notice to protest the partial closure Israel has put on some Arab neighborhoods in the capital.
The paper reports a similar strike was called in the neighborhood of Issawiya earlier this week, but several workers sneaked out before dawn so they could go to work without being seen as picket line jumpers.
