French Stevedores Refuse to Move Military Cargo Bound for Israel
----------------------------------------------------------------

In southern France, dock workers at a port outside Marseille have
refused to move military cargo bound for Israel, to protest the
Netanyahu government's assault on Gaza. The secretary-general of
France's trade union federation told reporters, "It is unacceptable that
[union dock workers] should be the ones forced to uphold the fundamental
principles of international law and French values. The government must
immediately block all arms deliveries to the State of Israel."
