The French Resistance To Israel’s Genocide In Palestine
French dock workers in Fos-sur-Mer, near Marseille, are blocking the shipment of military equipment bound for Israel, protesting the Israeli military's ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, France 24 reported on 6 June.
The action, led by members of the CGT trade union, halted the loading of 19 pallets of bullet links—metal components used to enable rapid machine gun fire—onto a cargo vessel on Thursday.
Christophe Claret, a union representative, confirmed that the shipment was identified and set aside after workers were notified of its contents.
"Once dockers refuse to load a shipment, no one else can do it for them," Claret told AFP. The remaining cargo for the vessel was loaded as scheduled.
