while not an actual action item for the general strike, you could also find some Palestinian recipes to cook. Part of the attempted erasure of Palestinian identity has been Israeli appropriation of recipes/foods. (And some pan-Arab foods too)

[tunameltd0wn]

if anyone wants to know where to look (and who to follow & support), here are some places posting Palestinian recipes:

mxriyum (link to her website, also on youtube, tiktok, instagram, and twitter as @\mxriyum) is Palestinian herself and has many Palestinian recipes up!

Palestine in a Dish (website link here) is a Palestinian recipe blogger who is also on instagram I think!

Falasteeni Foodie (website link here) is another Palestinian recipe blogger who can be found on tiktok and instagram under the handle @\falasteenifoodie

@najia-cooks has posted a lot of Palestinian recipes, I think everything is vegan as well so if you need dairy-free, egg-free, meat-free recipes it's a great source. everything is very thoroughly researched as well

moribyan (link to her website, also on youtube, tiktok, instagram, and twitter as @\moribyan) has a Palestinian food series, though she is Moroccan and Libyan herself (hence the name).

these are all the ones I personally know of, but I'm sure there are more out there so please share them if you know of any others :)

this is from the Palestinian Obi and Dress Exhibition run by Maki Yamamoto, who runs the Palestinian Embroidery Obi Project (link is to an article about it). she works with women in the West Bank and Gaza as well as Japanese artisans to produce and sell embroidered obi (kimono sashes) to high-end Japanese markets, ensuring that the Palestinian women get paid fairly for their work. she's been to the West Bank numerous times, including many trips to high-tension areas like Al-Khalil and Bil'in. this photo, where the model is wearing a Hirbawi kufiya and a mother of pearl carving from Bethlehem in addition to the kimono, is sourced from Yamamoto's Twitter. by the way, mother of pearl carving is a longstanding handicraft tradition in Bethlehem that seems like it's less known compared to things like tatreez and olive wood carving. there are some really beautiful Palestinian mother of pearl pieces out there.
