Iquique, Chile - June 24, 2025

From Iquique to Gaza,
one single enemy: Zionism and US

Long live proletarian internationalism!

Let no ship be loaded in Iquique, Valparaíso, or any country in the American continent: From Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, one single battle of the dockworkers!

To fight side by side with our class brothers and sisters in the US who are fighting against Trump, like the migrant workers and those fighting for the Palestinian cause, all the working-class, union, and student organizations of the continent should call to stop the massacre in Palestine. In order to halt the offensive of US imperialism in Latin America, we need to call for a Great Workers and Students Congress!

From Los Angeles to Iquique, from New York to Gaza, one single struggle!

For an international general strike to stop the massacre and break the hunger siege against the masses of Gaza!

Here below, we reproduce the statement from the Federation of Port Workers' Unions of Iquique, calling on the country's dockworkers to boycott cargo for the Zionist enclave, just as it was done internationally from various ports such as the US and Europe

FETRAPI Federation of Dockworkers' Unions of Iquique Founded October 27, 1983:

Iquique June 23, 2025

We, the Iquique port workers of the EPI attack front administered by the Chilean state, grouped in the Federation of Maritime Port Unions FETRAPI, through this statement, express our opinion on the situation affecting our proletarian working brothers in the West and declare the following:

Once again, we workers see how war is used as a pretext by neoliberal capitalists to enrich themselves and seize territories, oil, and gas. The US, along with Israel, intimidates us with its drones. And missiles aimed at Iran and Gaza do not discriminate; they fall on the defenseless population, children, and the elderly. An apartheid that is visible to all. These actions, argued under the pretext of freedom, are launched like old slogans, protected by the media and social networks they control. These illegal attacks benefit only them, increasing their sales in the weapons industry. They leave us workers to die while they get richer.

We port workers have a history of solidarity. We are vigilant. In the past, we have carried out boycott actions in different parts of the world on different occasions. In November 2023, dockworkers at the Port of Tacoma in Washington State and Oakland paralyzed a ship bound for Israel. Moroccan colleagues refused to load aircraft parts bound for Israel. Greek dockworkers at the Piraeus port made significant gestures of direct action. In Gothenburg, Sweden, a blockade of Israeli cargo ships for several days was implemented in a show of solidarity with the Palestinian people and against the terrorist state of Israel. Therefore, if cargo is loaded or moved in Chile bound for countries involved in these conflicts, we urge our Chilean port colleagues to refrain from moving or unloading these cargoes, and to boycott them immediately.

We urge all port workers around the world who are clamoring to stop this genocide, those who always stand in solidarity, to take action and make it visible, to rise together so as not to support one side against the other, but to make the voices of those who lose the most heard, to make the voices of life, liberty, and international solidarity heard against all states, against all borders, and against all wars.

STOP THE WAR, OUT THE IMPERIALISM FROM MIDDLE EAST, INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY NOW
