This is a question that unions in the aeronautics sector in Belgium are asking themselves. They claim that in Belgium, many weapons intended for parties to the conflict in the Middle East pass through Belgian airports. They demand that this transport stop.
The unions claim that military equipment, including weapons, would transit through Belgium. This material would be destined for Israel. For the moment no images prove these assertions, but the unions have collected numerous testimonies: “They unload planes coming from the United States“, explains Didier Lebbe, CNE permanent secretary, “they unload equipment, realize that it is war material.“
We do not want to participate in the war crime that is taking place in this region
These would not be military aircraft, but civilian aircraft: “They are asked to load civil planes“, adds the trade unionist, “these cargo planes then leave for Tel Aviv”.
As a united front, the unions denounce this situation and call for a boycott: “We do not want to participate in the war crime that is taking place in this region“, denounces Didier Lebbe, “we refuse to be part of the supply chain of this material which will be used to kill civilians. We do not want to be complicit in this, so we are asking our affiliates not to load planes with these weapons.“
