    The imperialist war in the Middle East is spreading. The genocide of the Palestinian people by the murderer-state of Israel continues with the support of the USA, NATO and the EU. The US-Israeli attack against Iran, the war flare-up in the Strait of Hormuz, the attacks on ships, the blockades, the militarization of maritime passages, all show that peoples and workers are being pushed deeper into the abyss of war.

    Our ports themselves are on the front line of this conflict. They want our hands to load weapons, to serve their armies. They want the infrastructures built with the sweat of workers to become bases for interventions, blockades, genocides and attacks against peoples.
