Israel is carrying out an all-out genocide against the Palestinians of Gaza.
The role of ZIM, the Israeli shipping line, in the development of the Israeli war machine has been relentless. It is a major transporter of weapons of mass destruction.
The Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions (PGFTU) and a large coalition of all major Palestinian workers unions and professional associations have called on their fellow trade unions and workers worldwide to boycott Israel and businesses that are complicit with its apartheid regime. In an international effort called #BlockTheBoat.
This is an extension to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign called for by the Palestinian civil society in 2004.
A ZIM ship is scheduled to be present in Port Melbourne on the 8th of November, from 5.30 PM, before heading to Port Botany, where fellow Comrades are organising to block to the boat! On the 8th of November Melbourne needs to send the message to Israel, Albanese and the Labor government that we will not be complicit in genocide! We demand an immediate ceasefire, the end of occupation, and justice for Palestine!
Join us with banners and strong voices to oppose ZIM, the Israeli war machine, and to stand in Solidarity with Palestine.
