Genoa Dockworkers Block Weapons Shipment to Israel in Solidarity Protest

Genoa Dockworkers Protest Arms Shipment to Israel A protest against the shipment of weapons to Israel took place in Genoa, Italy, on June 7th, 2025. Organized by the CALP (Collettivo Autonomo Lavoratori Portuali), the demonstration followed reports of a similar protest in Marseille where dockworkers blocked a ship carrying arms. The Genoa CALP confirmed that the ship, which arrived in Genoa, was free of the reported weapons. One protester stated, "We refuse to be complicit in crimes against the Palestinian people." The march highlighted growing international concern over the flow of weapons into conflict zones and the role of European ports in facilitating such shipments. The peaceful demonstration underscores the power of collective action in raising awareness about critical geopolitical issues.
