💥An Israeli ship not carrying military materials has been blocked in the port of Livorno, Italy. This is the first time: until now, protests in Italian ports had only been organized when weapons were involved. Dockworkers in this traditionally left-leaning town, supported byged a protest at the entrance of the port basin to block the Israeli shipping company Zim from docking. “No unloading, loading, or storage operations will be carried out,” the dockworkers declared, adding they would launch a targeted strike against ships linked to Israel’s economy if docking permission is granted. Another Zim ship is expected to arrive in Livorno on Thursday. Although the port authority formally grants docking permission, a ship cannot operate without the help of dockworkers. Permission has been withheld so far due to the protests. Over the past two years, Italian ports have already witnessed acts of civil disobedience blocking weapons shipments to Israel. This, however, is the first time a non-military cargo ship has been targeted.
