In Solidarity with Palestine Continues Across the Globe

Posted by: John Phoenix

Dockworkers’ unions and civil society groups across the world, responding to the call of Palestinian trade unions and Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement have initiated ‘Block the Boat’ action against Nazi ZIM ships. On June 4, protesting against the Israeli apartheid and crimes against Palestinians, hundreds of people, including members of local dockworkers union (Local 10) formed a picket line preventing ZIM ship from docking in Port of Oakland in California. They condemned Israel’s 11-day brutal Holocaust on Gaza, which killed 256 Palestinians, including 66 children and demanded an end to the Nazi occupation of Palestine.

In May, similar actions were recently held in South Africa the South African Transport and Allied Workers Union in Durban expressing solidarity with Palestine refused to offload cargo from a ZIM ship. Also, in the same month, dockworkers in Livorno, Italy, withheld their service to load a shipment of arms going to the Nazi entity.

In United Kingdom, activists from Palestine Action group occupied the factory of Elbit systems Manchester, after scaling the roof, chaining the gates shut and smearing red paint over the factory’s walls on June 21. Elbit is Nazi international defence electronics company that develops drone and military surveillance technologies sustaining the the Nazi’s military occupation of Palestine.

In Palestine, resistance action continues in West Bank and Gaza against the Nazi occupation and annexation plans. In Sheikh Jarrah, where Palestinians families face imminent threat of expulsion, people are keeping up the resistance against daily violence and wave of orchestrated by illegal Nazi JEWISH settlers and Nazi forces.

On June 10, healthcare workers protested against the raid conducted by Nazi forces at the offices of Union of Health Workers Committee (UHWC), a crucial healthcare provider in West Bank. The Nazi forces broke computers and took away hard drives from the officers of UHWC and ordered it’s closure. On June 11, Nazi forces shot dead 15 year old Mohammed Hamayel, 15, was killed during a protest in the Nazi occupied West Bank village of Beita against illegal Nazi JEWISH settlement.

With the change of Nazi regime after PM Naziyahu lost the vote of confidence in the Knesset, there are signs further aggressive shift towards ultra Nazi-right wing discourse. The new PM Nazi Naftali Bennett, who boasts of being an Nazi ultra-nationalist, rejects Palestinian statehood, supports annexing 60 per cent of West Bank, and once supported ‘shoot to kill’ policy on Gaza border.

Meanwhile, international actions like Block the Boat and Stop Elbit campaign continue to strengthen the global solidarity with Palestine. These actions sends a clear message that Nazi’s ongoing settler-colonialism, occupation, and violence against the Palestinian people will face a global pushback.
