6. "Ending the strike" is the court ordering the workers to end the strike.

There is no law that would force them to get back to their jobs. No court in a democratic state can force anyone to work under these circumstances. The law can enforce the ending of the strike, but not to drag people back to their places of employment.

I don't know how familiar you are with the history of labor movement in Israel, but let me tell you that it is the foundation of the Israeli society. Labor is far more organized in Israel than it is in the US, and I stand with them.

I don't know how this is possible, but you are confusing the rule of law with organized oligarchy. I am certain that many of the protesters will defy the court order, and their decision will be made out of their free will and solidarity, not out of fear of being forced back to work by organized oligarchy. And, the law being the law, they will be willing to pay the price. This is the anticipated consequence of them being both union members and citizens.
