PFLP call on greek movement to prevent shipment of arms to Israel

Anarchist Solidarity Initiative | 12.01.2009 11:33 | Anti-militarism | Palestine | World

Mainstream media reports have revealed that the U.S. Navy is attempting to ship 325 20-foot containers of ammunition (over 3000 tons) from the private greek port of Astakos to Israel, in an emergency shipment of arms to aid the occupation in its ongoing war crimes against the Palestinian people in Gaza. Information as for when this shipment will be attempted is conflicting; possible dates are the 15th, 25th and 31st of January.


Yesterday (10.01), the Popular front for the Liberation of Palestine called upon “the Greek movement, the Greek people and all international progressive forces to halt the planned shipment of U.S. arms to Israel from the Greek port of Astakos”

One day later, groups and individuals have already responded and are organising for a national mobilisation/blockade of the port of Astakos: the anti-authoritarian movement, the anti-war internationalist movement and Astakos’ local assembly of groups and individuals have already issued statements calling for a gathering at the port of Astakos on Thursday, 15.1, at 1pm.

During the last war on Iraq, anarchists in Corfu (I think) attacked a spanish war ship that was docked. The video I saw was around 100 anarchists throwing paintbombs and bricks at the ship, with the ship having to start its engine and leave - excellent stuff!
