Barcelona Dockworkers Vow Not to Load Weapons for Israel or Any Conflict Zone

The thread is exposing the actions of Israel that has committed war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The actual crime is Hamas using terror attacks against Israel and cowering behind human shields and refusing to evacuate civilians from neighborhoods and schools Hamas turned into rocket bases, rocket manufacturing, and weapons storage.

Hamas is like a murderous neighbor firing shots into adjacent houses from their daycare. Added. And proclaiming you can stop me because it’s a crime.

I asked you to back up your maths, not to toady up to your buddy?

Can you, please?

Half are children?

Your claim.

Kindly back that up.

You don't seem to be very good with maths by the way and you seem to want to avoid even the most simple estimations/calculations.

The Barcelona dockworkers know well that innocent civilians are getting slaughtered in Gaza.

amp.theguardian.com...

According to the independent Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, which is chaired by US emeritus law professor and former UN special rapporteur on Palestine, Richard Falk, the civilian death toll as of 20 November is 16,413, with nearly 34,000 injured. This would mean one in every 142 Palestinian civilians killed in a month and a half.

That's almost 1 in 140 Palestinians that has been killed. Considering a population of around 2.3 million

Let's see what 1 in 140 means taking for example the US Population of around 340,000,000

That's 2,428,571 people.

There are crimes committed by both sides and that's undeniable. But trying to blame only one side shows bias in the argument.

The stance by the Barcelona dockworkers and their Spanish counterparts show clearly what people all over the world think about this conflict.

Recently the South African Government has asked for the arrest of Netanyahou and his Government for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.

The South African government on Monday called on the International Criminal Court to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by mid-December.

Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni said it would signal a "total failure" of global governance if the ICC does not do so.

"The world cannot simply stand by and watch. The global community needs to rise to stop this genocide now," said Ntshavheni.

I think South Africans know well what Apartheid and genocide means. I think it's time you should accept too the realities of this war.

The whole world has seen what is happening in Gaza where innocent civilians are getting slaughtered.

There are calls for the arrest of Netanyahou and his Government and the most recent one is by the South African Government

The Spanish and Belgian workers and other workers around have shown solidarity with the people of Gaza and refused to handle arm shipments that are heading to Israel. It's simple.

Then they can stop the war by kicking out Hamas, returning all the hostages, and then the new resultant leadership of Gaza surrendering and disavowing the Hamas sanctioned murder, rape, torture, kidnapping, hostage taking by specifically targeting civilians on Oct 7th.

It’s not a war crime for Israel going after legitimate terrorist targets that Hamas shields with humans and refuses to evacuate their civilians from the neighborhoods they tuned into military facilities.

I understand that you are trying to whitewash the crimes committed by Israel but you need to come to terms with reality.

The South African Government speaks about genocide and not just war crimes. I think they know better than you.

I’m not trying to whitewash anything.

It’s a fact Hamas cowers behind human shields.

And we can use al-Ahli Arab Hospital to gauge how and to what extent Hamas will lie and use its own citizens as pawns.

But still you talk about Hamas although Hamas isn't the only one that has committed crimes. What Hamas did in the past or doing right now isn't a justification for the crimes committed by Israel.

It's not only the Barcelona dockworkers who have refused to perform their duties because they know US Arms are heading towards Israel to slaughter innocent civilians. Many other workers all over Europe have acted in a similar manner.

Lately Barcelona City Council has said the following

Barcelona City Council Suspends Ties With Israel Over Gaza Slaughter

"It's not a war, it's a genocide," said Councilmember Ada Colau. "We not only need to denounce it, we must act and not stay on the sidelines."

The city council of Barcelona, Spain's second-largest city, voted Friday to suspend relations with Israel's far-right government over what the party behind the move called the "genocide" in Gaza.

They argue is not a war but a genocide. I am sure many will agree with them.

If it’s “genocide” by the Israelis, how are people in Gaza allowed to evacuate to the south?

The whole world has seen what is going on in Gaza the last 7 weeks. Do you want me to anyone else to.answer your pseudo rhetorical question?

Asked you a question. If Israel was out to “genocide” Gaza, and not just after Hamas terrorists and their assets. Why would the citizens of Gaza be allowed to move or evacuate out of Gaza?

The citizens of Gaza have been forcibly removed which is a war crime by its own. And they have been attacked and killed. Mass murder and ethnic cleansing.

I think you live in an alternate reality

It’s not Israelis fault that Hamas illegally integrated its terrorist command tunnels, and the building, storage, and launching of terror rockets into the thousands into Gaza neighborhoods, schools, and hospitals.

The move builds on a growing number of direct actions targeting weapons bound for Israel as its bombardment of Gaza has claimed more than 10,000 lives.

The union representing Barcelona's dockworkers promised Monday not to load or unload military materials onto any ship bound for Israel or another warzone where they could be used against civilians.

In their statement, the Organization of Port Stevedores of Barcelona, OEPB in Catalan, called for a cease-fire in Israel, Palestine, Ukraine, and every other global conflict.

We have decided... not to allow shipping activity in our port that contains military equipment, with the sole purpose of protecting any civilian population in any territory," the union wrote. "No cause justifies sacrificing civilians."

Well done to the dockworkers of Barcelona and their representatives who have argued in favour of a ceasefire not only in Israel-Palestine but everywhere there is a conflict at the moment. Their decision not to load or unload military materials onto any ship bound for Israel or any other warzone is a practise that should be followed imo by all other ports everywhere in the world and shouldn't be viewed only as a symbolic act.

Every day that passes we hear about an increasing number of people all over the world who not only support an immediate ceasefire but also argue that US Arms and Arms supplied by other countries must not be used to slaughter civilians in their thousands. Latest example the mass killings of tens of thousands of innocent civilians by the Israeli Army.

The OEPB has criticised the UN for their inaction and have asked them to do what they suppose to be doing in these cases, such as providing humanitarian aid, protecting human rights, and preserving peace and security globally.

How foolish, it’s just for social credit is all.
There won’t be one slow down of weapons & goods to any war on Earth . War is the number one business on Earth , next to religion & then commerce. Nothing stops the gears of war.
Man as the animal needs war to maintain balance, just like nature does daily. Human nature is to dominate. Now there is a spiritual side to man that fights against the animal nature , but the peacemakers are the first to die & thus war is the ultimate ouroboros.
Learn to accept the madness & strive to make your home & community peaceful is all one can do.
Until the super volcano or mega asteroid kills us all , war is the only constant & we need a world war to smash some reality into the woke youth of the west.
It’s been to good for too long & the weak are in charge now .
The weak never survive, but there are spells of progressive delusion until reality come in the form of bombs & bullets. The whole world needs a cleansing or restart & a giant global world war is exactly what is needed.
Sounds harsh , but it’s reality.
The war in Ukraine is changing Europe for the better , out with the froot loops & in with the warriors.
Islam & Communism will never stop & 32 year old boys with pink hair & hey dudes isn’t stopping s#it.
