Ala Alazzeh, Ph.D. student of cultural anthropology, critiques the Fatah call for strike on October 9th, which was held in protest of Israel's "measures against al-Aksa Mosque" in Jerusalem. Alazzeh considers the Palestinian and international outcry against Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' decision to withdraw support for Goldstone's UN report of Israel's latest war against Gaza.

Questioning the effectiveness of strikes in Palestine's contemporary political economy, Alazzeh compares strategies of the 1st Intifada and ones needed today.
