Boycott by transport unions




Unknown commented on "US & UK helping Israel kill kids?"

Reuters:

'Belgian transport workers' unions called on their members to refuse to handle military equipment being sent to Israel

"While a genocide is under way in Palestine, workers at various airports in Belgium are seeing arms shipments in the direction of the war zone," the statement said.



The unions said that loading or offloading these weapons would mean contributing to supplying organisations that kill innocent people.

"We, several unions active in ground logistics, call on our members not to handle any flights that ship military equipment to Palestine/Israel

The unions also called for an immediate ceasefire and asked the Belgian government to not tolerate arms shipments through Belgian airports.

"As unions, we stand with those who campaign for peace," they said.'
