Moroccan Regime Complicit in Genocide: Tangier Protesters Confront “Ships of Death” Amid Deafening Silence

Moroccan Regime Complicit in Genocide: Tangier Protesters Confront “Ships of Death” Amid Deafening Silence

Algiers, Algeria | In a powerful rebuke to what they called the Moroccan regime’s complicity in war crimes, hundreds of Moroccan activists and citizens took to the streets of Tangier on Sunday in a mass protest that culminated in a sit-in at the gates of the city’s port. Their message was unambiguous: Morocco must not serve as a gateway for genocide.

 

Dubbed by demonstrators as a direct conduit for “ships of extermination,” Tangier’s port has become a flashpoint in the nationwide outrage over the Kingdom’s normalization with the Zionist entity. Protesters decried the arrival and docking of vessels linked to the transport of military equipment destined for the Zionist occupation army—at a time when Gaza lies in ruins and over 60,000 Palestinians have been killed, starved, or buried under rubble.

The march began at Place of the Nations, drawing people from all walks of life—men, women, elders, children—all united under Palestinian flags, keffiyehs, and banners that bore the weight of suffering from Gaza. Photographs of emaciated children, destroyed homes, and charred corpses served as a gut-wrenching backdrop to the chants of defiance.

Crucially, demonstrators did not mince words: the Moroccan regime, they insisted, is no longer neutral—it is complicit. “Turning Tangier Med into a logistical artery for the Zionist war machine is not just moral cowardice; it is active betrayal,” one speaker declared to thunderous applause.

Placards accused the Makhzen of “trading history for blood,” while chants pierced the heavy security presence:

“هذا وعد يا إسماعيل… لن نعترف بإسرائيل”
“غزة كاتجوع وكاتعاني… وتقول العالم نساني”
“عهد الله لن نخون… فلسطين فالعيون”

“This is a promise, Ismail… We will never recognize Israel.”
“Gaza is starving and suffering… and says the world has forgotten me.”
“By God’s covenant, we will never betray… Palestine is in our eyes.”

Security forces had cordoned off access to the port, yet demonstrators remained undeterred. In a symbolic gesture echoing the sounds of empty stomachs in Gaza, protesters banged pots and pans, turning domestic instruments into tools of protest. For hours, the area reverberated with unwavering solidarity—and fury.

The protestors praised port workers who refused to handle cargo tied to Zionist-linked ships, hailing their stance as an act of resistance in a system that has otherwise caved to foreign interests and normalized occupation.

Speakers denounced not only the Moroccan government but also the broader Arab and Islamic world for their “criminal silence” in the face of Gaza’s annihilation. The normalization deals—once lauded by the regime as strategic diplomacy—now stand exposed as morally bankrupt, drenched in Palestinian blood, and starkly divorced from the values of justice and resistance that once defined the Moroccan street.

The Moroccan regime’s attempt to package normalization as pragmatism is unraveling. What the world is witnessing is not diplomacy—it is desertion. It is an abdication of solidarity for access, a betrayal of the Palestinian cause for fleeting geopolitical leverage.

While bombs fall on Gaza, Morocco’s ports receive ships. While children die of hunger, Moroccan officials shake hands with architects of occupation. The message from Tangier is unmistakable: the people remember Palestine—even if the regime has chosen to forget.

History will not be kind to collaborators. It will not absolve those who turned their backs while a people were starved, slaughtered, and silenced.

The Moroccan people have spoken. The streets have thundered. The question remains: how long will the regime hide behind its silence?
