Ports Lock Out Israel’s Weapons — And There's More to Come
Dockworkers in Genoa have become the latest to block an Israeli arms shipment, but something even bigger is on the horizon...
If you want to know who’s actually trying to stop the slaughter in Gaza, don’t waste your time squinting at the photo-ops from summits or parsing the careful euphemisms of “deep concern” from Western foreign ministries. Look to the quaysides. Look to the men and women in hi-vis vests, not tailored suits, who can smell a weapons shipment before the ink is dry on the shipping manifest and who don’t need a UN resolution to tell them it’s wrong to help send it.
In Genoa this past week, they didn’t just hold placards for the cameras. They boarded a Saudi-owned ship, the Bahri Yanbu, stuffed with military cargo — some of it made right there in Italy — destined, via the usual webs of plausible deniability, to fuel Israel’s war on Gaza. They documented it, made it public, and refused to lift a finger to move it, as their fellow dockworkers in France, or Spain, or Morocco or Greece have done before them, the dissent growing around the Mediterranean against touching the tools of genocide.
Meanwhile, Giorgia Meloni’s government, so fond of voicing “concerns” over civilian casualties, was busy making arms exports easier, not harder. So it fell to the dockers to enforce the very laws their leaders were gutting, to take the kind of action that can actually choke a war machine. And they did it without the theatrics of summitry or the moral cowardice of “both sides” diplomacy — just a simple, defiant, working-class “no.”
