Morocco must ban docking of Maersk Denver, suspected of carrying weapons for genocidal Israel

The Maersk Denver is part of the Maersk fleet that is implicated in shipping US military supplies to Israel and is therefore reasonably suspected* of carrying illegal military cargo destined to Israel. This is in violation of a UNHRC resolution, a UNGA resolution, and statements by dozens of UN human rights experts, all calling for a military embargo on Israel due to its illegal occupation and its commission of a plausible genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, as the ICJ determined earlier this year.

Palestinian trade unions & professional syndicates call for escalating BDS pressure to end complicity with Israel’s #GazaGenocide & apartheid

Palestinian trade unions & professional syndicates

More than one year into the livestreamed genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in the occupied and besieged Gaza Strip, Palestinians stand united in resisting Israel’s genocide and decades-old regime of settler-colonialism, occupation and apartheid. We call on trade unions and workers worldwide to escalate BDS pressure to end the complicity of states, corporations and institutions in Israel’s crimes against the entire Palestinian people, as well as the fraternal people of Lebanon, among others.

Ben & Jerry's Sues Parent Company Unilever for Silencing the Ice Cream Maker’s Support for Palestinian Rights

BNC

In a lawsuit filed on November 13, 2024, Ben & Jerry’s says Unilever has silenced the company’s support for Palestinian human rights and threatened to dismantle its board and sue its members over the issue. Since the beginning of Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza, Ben & Jerry's has attempted to publicly voice support for a permanent and immediate ceasefire, the end of U.S. military funding to Israel, and the protection of Palestinian refugee rights. Their attempts to speak out were muzzled by Unilever, according to the lawsuit.

Israel’s genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians grinds on, destroying Gaza and causing a catastrophic human and environmental disaster of untold proportions. On the occasion of COP29, we call on all civil society organisations at COP29 and around the world to mobilise urgently to impose an energy embargo on Israel to stop the genocide in Palestine and put an end to Israel's apartheid, illegal occupation and ecocide.

Tell CAF to get off Israel’s apartheid train! -- Portuguese

BNC

CAF is being challenged far and wide for its complicity in Israeli apartheid. Eight trade unions in Norway are calling for the boycott of CAF, while over 15 human rights organisations in the Spanish state are calling for CAF and companies listed in the UN database to be excluded from public tenders. Well-known figures, such as the runner Javi Dominguez and the journalist Amparo Lasheras, are also calling for mobilisation in the Basque Country on November 28th, and campaigners in the UK are calling for CAF to be ruled out for the bid to provide rolling stock for the UK’s new high-speed railway, HS2.

URGENT ACTION NEEDED

BNC

In the midst of its genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip, the Israeli military is intensifying its massacres in northern Gaza to forcibly displace the remaining Palestinian population–some 400,000. Over the past seven days, Israeli forces have advanced into this area, effectively blocking the only three entrances and imposing a siege that has included heavy airstrikes and shelling, particularly targeting what is left of the Jabalia refugee camp.
