Belgian transport workers' unions on Tuesday called on their members to refuse to handle military equipment being sent to Israel to battle Hamas. The ACV Puls, BTB, BBTK and ACV-Transcom unions said in a joint statement that airport workers have seen arms shipments. "While a genocide is under way in Palestine, workers at various airports in Belgium are seeing arms shipments in the direction of the war zone," the statement said. The unions said that loading or offloading these weapons would mean contributing to supplying organizations that kill innocent people. The unions also called for an immediate cease-fire and asked the Belgian government to not tolerate arms shipments through Belgian airports. (Reuters)
