Pro-Palestinians Block Israeli Cargo Ship In California
[IsraelTimes] Pro-Paleostinian protesters prevented an Israeli merchantman from unloading at a Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, port.

The protesters gathered Sunday at the Port of Oakland to stop a ship from Zim Integrated Shipping Services, Israel's international maritime cargo company, from docking and unloading.

The protest is under the auspices of the Block the Boat coalition organized by the the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
-based Arab Resource and Organizing Center.

The ship docked at the port Sunday evening after remaining at sea on Saturday to avoid arriving in the middle of a protest by thousands of pro-Paleostinian demonstrators.

Unionized dockworkers at the port on Sunday honored the picket line and refused to unload the ship.

"Workers honored our picket and stood on the side of justice, as they historically have," the center said in a statement on its website. "Oakland said no to Zionism and blocked the boat for an entire weekend. This is the first time in history that this has happened. Israeli apartheid is falling one port at a time."

Similar actions are expected to take place at ports in Seattle and Tacoma, Wash., this week and later in Vancouver.

#1 Try the Port of Savannah's 1,200-acre Garden City Terminal. We'd love to have your business.

#2 Try the Port of Savannah

They'd have to transit the Panama Canal, but what the heck. Let the antisemites increase their unemployment numbers.

#6 I understand that California leads the nation, as long as you don't have to care about making a living.

I would laugh if it wasn't so pathetic.

#8 So the dock workers honored a picket line? I was not aware that leftist anti-semites had unionized.

#9 I was not aware that leftist anti-semites had unionized.

Some of these guys are 'programmed' not to cross a picket line (of any sort). (It IS the Bay Area dontchaknow and Oakland is the 'Gateway To Berkley', although without as many affluent folks or hookah bars)

Of course, it is a nice day today, to bad we would have to actually work.
