URGENT: A ship loaded with 122 tons of steel, to be used for making Israeli weapons, is set to leave Barcelona on Tuesday. Despite the strong words from the Spanish government, arms shipments are still being made to fuel Israel's war machine – but there is still time to stop it. Sign now and stop this ship of death from leaving Barcelona: On Tuesday, a shipment for an Israeli arms company is about to leave the port of Barcelona. Despite the strong words from the government, Spanish ports are still being used to refuel and arm Israel's war machine - but the Barcelona Port Authority could do the right thing and stop the ship from leaving with its deadly cargo. When an arms ship was meant to dock in Marseille and Genoa last month, the workers refused to load it - and it was forced to leave empty. Now, again, people need to stand up – as governments are clearly not doing enough to stop Israel's genocide in Gaza. But every second counts – the ship is due to leave Barcelona in a matter of days. Add your name and let's demand Spain impose an immediate arms embargo and stop all arms shipments immediately – including this one! Every signature strengthens our call and shows authorities that they must act to restrain Israel with everything they got.

Sign now and stop this ship of death from leaving Barcelona: | | | Dear friends, | On Tuesday, a shipment for an Israeli arms company is about to leave the port of Barcelona.
Despite the strong words from the government, Spanish ports are still being used to refuel and arm Israel's war machine - but the Barcelona Port Authority could do the right thing and stop the ship from leaving with its deadly cargo.
When an arms ship was meant to dock in Marseille and Genoa last month, the workers refused to load it - and it was forced to leave empty. Now, again, people need to stand up – as governments are clearly not doing enough to stop Israel's genocide in Gaza.
But every second counts – the ship is due to leave Barcelona in a matter of days.
Add your name and let's demand Spain impose an immediate arms embargo and stop all arms shipments immediately – including this one! Every signature strengthens our call and shows authorities that they must act to restrain Israel with everything they got. | | | While the Spanish government was vocal about the catastrophic situation in Gaza, calling Israel's action a genocide – these welcome words met with very little action. Just in the last two years, Spain awarded 46 contracts for military equipment to Israeli companies, and made 88 arms and military equipment shipments to Israel.
These, and the ship loaded with 122 tons of steel in Barcelona, show that the Spanish government is not matching their words with actions.
Yet, after so many empty statements and hollow words – people around the world are rising up to end the genocide in Gaza. It is time for real action. Add your name now and let's stop this shipment right now: | | For the past 19 months the Avaaz community has stood with the people of Palestine. From the Madleene ship to French dockworkers refusing to load arms, we are witnessing more and more people coming together – in full solidarity. Let this be the catalyst for Spain living up to its words and imposing a full arms embargo on Israel.
With determination, for Palestine,
