Sarzis Alam has called on the people of Bangladesh to respond unitedly on April 7 to the general strike requested by Gaza residents protesting Israeli brutality. He wrote that global activists have called for a shutdown of schools, colleges, offices, and courts to demand an end to the genocide. “But as human beings and as Muslims, our response should not be limited to closures. Students and citizens across the country, regardless of political affiliation, must take to the streets to protest against Israeli war criminals,” he said. “We may not be able to wage war directly, but we can show solidarity by marching together without party banners and chanting slogans against Netanyahu.”
