Awesome hope more countries do this. That should be given military protection.

Speaking at a rally on the docks of Genoa, one of Europe's largest ports, a dockworker representing the USB union said that if communication with the flotilla were lost “even for just 20 minutes,” port workers would immediately block all shipments to Israel, regardless of their content.

I have zero doubt that Israel will arrest them, so its really just a question of whether the port workers pull through on their promise.
