Pro-Palestinian activists have launched a new campaign at the port of Gioia Tauro in southern #Italy aimed at disrupting military supplies involved in the #Gaza #genocide.
The new action dubbed “Global Intifada Disarm” was launched during a maritime and land demonstration at the port as five boats from the #ThousandMadleensToGaza initiative approached the Calabrian port in a symbolic protest against Italy’s war economy and supply chains.
The 29 May mobilisation, called by grassroots #TradeUnions and the #MovementOfYoungPalestinians in Italy, saw demonstrations across the country, from ports and logistics hubs to factories identified by campaigners as being linked to #military production and supply chains connected to #Israel.
