The Panhellenic Union of Merchant Marine Sailors (PENEN), the largest union of sailors at Pireaus port in Athens, Greece, have mobilised to refuse complicity in Israeli war crimes by demanding that the Greek government and port authorities deny harbour two tankers providing jet fuel to Israel. The action was part of the No Harbour for Genocide campaign that mobilised actions across the Mediterranean to deny Harbour to the Overseas Santorini and Overseas Suncoast, both of which deliver military grade jet fuel used in the Israeli warplanes raining down death and destruction on the people of Gaza.On August 12, PENEN issued a statement, that can be read here in full, or below in English.
