Dockworkers hailed for strike blocking arms shipments to Israel
Original: to all the port workers & dockworkers who participated in the strike today to keep arms from reaching israel: YOU ARE FU
Port and dockworkers took part in a strike aimed at stopping arms shipments from reaching Israel, and supporters are loudly praising them online as heroes. The action ties into broader pro-Palestinian activism over the Gaza war, where labour stoppages at ports have been used to pressure arms exports.
Why now: A dockworkers' strike against arms shipments to Israel drew strong praise and attention amid the Gaza war.
