Jimmy Dore: Italian dock workers successfully blocked the unloading of military equipment bound for Israel, forcing shipping operators to return the cargo to its origin. This action adds to a growing movement of union-led resistance across Europe, where dock workers from France, Greece, and other countries have refused to participate in arms transfers tied to the war in Gaza.
As Jimmy and Kurt Metzger discuss, the unions emphasize that strikes against war logistics are both a legitimate right and a necessary tactic to defend collective security, opposing the involvement of workers in what they call genocide. U.S. labor leader Christian Smalls criticized American unions for complicity in arms shipments to Israel, calling for global labor solidarity with Palestinians.
