The very first Intifada (in Iraq) included worker strikes. The [First Intifada](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Intifada) in Palestine [included](https://www.vox.com/2018/11/20/18080066/israel-palestine-intifadas-first-second) " Palestinian demonstrations, nonviolent actions like mass boycotts and Palestinians refusing to work jobs in Israel, and attacks (using rocks, Molotov cocktails, and occasionally firearms) on Israelis"

Your failure of imagination should not be the Palestinians’ problem. Much the same rhetoric was (and still is) used in reference to the South African situation. The much-anticipated [(including on these boards](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-silent-genocide-of-white-people-in-south-africa/639037)) White genocide has stubbornly failed to happen here.
