Ports Shut Down GLOBALLY To Israel - And The Numbers Will TERRIFY Them

Right, so Israel is about to get a shipping headache that not even a truckload of paracetamol can fix, as organisers gleefully announce that dockworkers plan to throw a spanner in the works at over 100 ports across 17 countries and four continents on Friday, 30 October. USB union, also the world's busiest event planner, has released the figures. Not every port will close; some will limp along, while others will wave a sign at a passing container ship, saying something along the lines of, not today sunshine. But the scale of this event should be enough to make the shipping industry take their antacids. After all, Israeli ships have already been floating on the sea like guests who were not invited. There is no way to justify a cargo ship that's pouting in the harbour. Ideal before the customer calls for the third time to ask why their shipment is in a film adaptation of Cast Away. Now the planners of these demonstrations have an even greater goal than a lunchtime picket. The goal is to build a movement that goes beyond the individual workplace and country. Surprisingly, this is harder than slogans and banners. Workers have bills to pay, supervisors breathing down their necks, and families who would rather not have solidarity on their dinner table. They need more than a polite applause and a hashtag. Try paying the rent with a round of applause and see what happens.
