Dounia Filali Slams Morocco’s Complicity in War Crimes: Government’s Role in Facilitating Weapons Shipments to the Zionist Entity Condemned Worldwide

BY: Dr. Hana Saada

Algiers, Algeria | November 10th, 2024 — Morocco’s recent actions in facilitating military operations by the Zionist entity have sparked a firestorm of global condemnation, with its government facing increasing accusations of complicity in war crimes and genocide. This culminated in the November 9, 2024 decision to permit a U.S.-flagged vessel carrying military supplies for the Zionist entity to dock at the port of Tangier, a move that has raised serious questions about Morocco’s adherence to international law, its moral integrity, and its role in the ongoing atrocities in Gaza and Lebanon.

Prominent journalist and government critic, Dounia Filali, has been at the forefront of exposing Morocco’s role in enabling the Zionist entity’s actions, particularly highlighting the stark contradiction between the country’s public stance and its behind-the-scenes actions. In a blistering condemnation, Filali argues that Morocco’s facilitation of arms shipments to the Zionist entity is a clear violation of international law and an endorsement of the genocidal tactics currently being used in Gaza. Filali’s statements underscore the chilling reality that Morocco has not only turned a blind eye to the bloodshed in Palestine but has actively participated in perpetuating it by allowing the shipment of weapons that fuel the ongoing violence.

The decision to allow the docking of the U.S. military vessel, which had been turned away by Spain due to its controversial cargo, signals a disturbing shift in Morocco’s foreign policy. While the government’s silence on this matter is deafening, the international community, including human rights organizations and legal experts, is not remaining passive. The docking of the ship at Tangier, coming at a time of heightened international scrutiny over the Zionist entity’s actions, represents a direct endorsement of the ongoing war crimes committed in Gaza and Lebanon. The fact that this is the second such incident in recent months only amplifies the gravity of Morocco’s actions and its complicity in the broader geopolitical conflict.

Despite Morocco’s earlier endorsement of United Nations resolutions calling for a halt to arms shipments to the Zionist entity, this recent decision exposes the glaring hypocrisy at play. The Moroccan government’s tacit approval of military aid to a state that is committing genocide contradicts its supposed commitment to international peace and stability. By allowing these shipments to dock on its shores, Morocco has signaled to the world that its interests align more with enabling war crimes than upholding the values of justice and human rights. This contradiction is not only morally indefensible but also legally untenable, as it contravenes multiple international agreements designed to prevent the further escalation of violence in the Middle East.

The growing outcry from within Morocco itself is a testament to the discontent felt by its citizens and activists. Protestors have taken to the streets, demanding that the government cease its support for the Zionist entity and take accountability for its role in the ongoing conflict. Advocacy groups have called on Moroccan port workers to refuse to unload the military supplies, encouraging them to take a stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people. The popular mobilization against the government’s actions is a direct reflection of the moral outrage that permeates the country, with growing calls for a global boycott of the Zionist entity gaining momentum.

As the legal ramifications of Morocco’s actions become clearer, international human rights organizations are pushing for accountability at the highest levels. Legal experts and advocacy groups are calling for charges of complicity in war crimes and genocide to be brought against King Mohammed VI and his government, arguing that Morocco’s actions violate multiple international laws, including the Geneva Conventions and United Nations resolutions. These organizations assert that Morocco’s involvement in enabling the Zionist entity’s military operations is not merely a passive observation of geopolitical events but an active endorsement of war crimes, thus implicating the state in the suffering and death of countless innocent civilians.

The international community’s growing calls for legal action against Morocco and its leadership signal that the time for passive diplomacy has long passed. Governments, legal experts, and human rights organizations worldwide are demanding that Morocco cease its complicity in the Zionist entity’s war crimes and act in accordance with international law.

Ultimately, Morocco’s decision to facilitate the transfer of military supplies to the Zionist entity is not just a geopolitical misstep—it is a stark betrayal of its obligations to international law, human rights, and the global community. The silence from the Moroccan government in the face of mounting evidence of war crimes only serves to deepen its complicity and raise critical questions about its priorities on the global stage.
