In vista della Giornata internazionale per la Palestina del 29 novembre, era stato lanciato un appello da una pluralità di organizzazioni internazionaliste affinché nei rispettivi paesi, e oltre, si scendesse in campo con un riferimento alla piattaforma comune (che qui sotto richiamiamo). Diamo di seguito un riscontro solo parziale, purtroppo, delle diverse piazze e iniziative.
Manifestazione a Buenos Aires:
Sciopero di 2 ore in Norvegia:

Didascalia: “Immagini dalla grande manifestazione di solidarietà al popolo palestinese che si è tenuta oggi ad Atene.
Abbiamo ripreso il filo conduttore dello sciopero generale di ieri dei lavoratori italiani, che sono scesi in piazza a centinaia di migliaia per manifestare la loro solidarietà con la Palestina e contro il bilancio della Meloni.
Abbiamo unito le nostre voci a quelle di milioni di persone che oggi in tutto il mondo hanno continuato a gridare un unico slogan: “Rimarremo al fianco della Palestina fino alla vittoria”!
Contro il piano coloniale di Trump. Contro il governo Mitsotakis che continua la sua vergognosa collaborazione con Israele e gli Stati Uniti acquistando armi dallo Stato sionista e promettendo a Gilfoil di creare una base americana a Elefsina. Il prossimo passo sarà quello di procedere a uno sciopero generale contro la legge di bilancio di Mitsotakis il 16 dicembre.
Continuiamo a stare al fianco della Resistenza palestinese per una Palestina libera dal fiume al mare!”

Joint Statement from the International Trade-Union Meeting for Palestine
Movilización en apoyo al pueblo palestino
No to Guardianship over Gaza. No to a New Mandate over Palestine.
Block the war and genocide economy
Build working-class solidarity with Palestine
As workers and trade unionists meeting across borders, we join the Union of Professors and Employees of Birzeit University in denouncing the so-called “peace plan” endorsed by the UN Security Council [UN-SC 2803] as a new colonial project.
For more than two years, Palestine has faced an unrelenting genocidal war across all the geographies of historic Palestine and beyond: mass murder, siege and starvation in Gaza; accelerating settler violence in the West Bank and Jerusalem; mass incarceration of political prisoners; attacks on refugee camps across the region; and Zionist strikes in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, and Qatar.
The proposed “transition authority,” “international stabilisation force,” and “reform programme” are brazen instruments to entrench Zionist settler colonialism, fragment the Palestinian people, and disarm the resistance under the guise of “peace.”
We reject all forms of international guardianship, mandates, or trusteeship over Gaza and Palestine, and affirm the Palestinian people’s right to resist colonial domination, to return to their land, and to exercise full self-determination across historical Palestine.
The struggle for a free Palestine is a core trade-union issue. Imperialist war, militarism, austerity, and racism are tightening working-class exploitation, union repression, and authoritarianism everywhere. Activists are targeted under counter-terror legislation, banned from campuses, threatened with deportation, or criminalised for pickets, direct actions, and blockades.
We reject the false division between “economic” and “political” struggles, and recognise that our task is not only to campaign but to organise industrial action that answers the call of Palestinian trade unions for material solidarity with their resistance.
Across the world, strikes and blockades for Palestine have shown that workers have the power to block the war and genocide economy: from ports to logistics hubs, universities, hospitals, railways, and public services. The strikes in Italy, Greece, Spain, and beyond demonstrate that organised labour can disrupt the supply chains of genocide and challenge the same imperial system that sustains the Zionist project and drives workers’ exploitation and repression everywhere.
As Birzeit University workers insist: power that does not guard rights cannot abolish them.
Tonight’s meeting brings together trade-unionists from Palestine, Italy, Greece, Spain, Ireland, the UK, Egypt, Nigeria, South Korea, Argentina, Australia, Norway, and beyond to deepen coordination.
This meeting reaffirms:
- Our commitment to defeating Zionism as a racist, settler-colonial project upheld by imperial powers and global capitalism.
- Our solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for liberation and the unity of refugees, prisoners, workers, and youth across all geographies.
- Our rejection of the new regime of guardianship over Gaza and new mandate over Palestine.
- Our conviction that the international working class has the power to confront militarism, imperialism, and their global systems of exploitation.
We commit to:
- building international workers’ action to confront militarism, imperialism and repression, in solidarity with the Palestinian resistance;
- supporting campaigns to boycott and divest from institutions and corporations complicit in genocide;
- advancing a popular, workers-led embargo – economic, military, logistical, academic and cultural – against the Zionist state and all institutions complicit in genocide;
- defending workers and students facing retaliation for Palestine solidarity;
- preparing further coordinated international workplace actions and strikes as part of the emerging international movement to block everything that fuels genocide.
We call on trade-union bodies, workers’ organisations and social movements everywhere to endorse this statement, intensify mobilisation, and take concrete steps to bring broader sections of the labour movement into this struggle.
No to guardianship over Gaza. No to a new mandate over Palestine.
Block everything, everywhere!
Long live the Palestinian resistance!
Freedom for Palestine, from the river to the sea!

Qui, invece, il messaggio di solidarietà inviato per lo sciopero del 28 novembre dai portuali di Rotterdam e Hamburg

Here are our solidarity greetings for the general strike on November 28:
Dear colleagues, friends, comrades!
We send you warm greetings of solidarity for your general strike on November 28. These greetings come from dockworkers in Hamburg and Rotterdam, from members of the ver.di union and friendly organizations.
We support your struggle and strike against the economic plans of the reactionary-fascist Meloni government, which wants to shift the burden of the crisis on to the backs of workers, the laboring class, women, pensioners, and young people. We know from Germany and the Netherlands the policies of the respective governments and corporations to establish a veritable war economy. We stand by your side in the fight against increased military spending. But also for higher wages, for a reduction in precarious employment, and against the underfunding of schools, healthcare, and public transportation.
In the fight against military armament and the preparation for a third world war, we stand for the slogan: “Workers don’t shoot workers” – Fight fascism! We wish you every success and staying power in this struggle of the working class – often in conjunction with solidarity with the Palestinian people’s struggle for freedom. And we will report on your strike and advocate for solidarity actions across borders.
