Across ports, cities, and communities around the world, workers, trade unionists, activists and allies are coming together to challenge the maritime supply chains enabling Israel’s genocide, apartheid and wars of aggression. Through direct action and public pressure, we are striving to end state and corporate complicity in Israel’s crimes against the peoples of Palestine, Lebanon, and the wider region.
#BlockTheBoat is a growing global campaign exerting public pressure to stop military and dual-use shipments – including energy shipments – that sustain Israel’s ongoing grave human rights violations. This campaign’s main asset is the people and movements across the globe, connecting solidarity with Palestinians to their struggles against militarization and austerity and for social, economic, racial and climate justice.
In the video below, activists from #BlockTheBoat campaign share their motivations, challenges and the world they are fighting for.
| In the last few months alone, activists and dockworkers across more than 20 countries have helped to disrupt seven major military shipments, launched coordinated port actions across the Mediterranean and beyond, and pushed authorities to investigate shipments connected to Israel’s genocide. In April, #BlockTheBoat organizers met to discuss their upcoming work and tactics aiming at disrupting the chain of complicity in Israel’s atrocity crimes. |
