California Protesters Again Block Israeli-Owned Ship

[IsraelTimes] For second time in six weeks, demonstrators prevent unloading of Zim vessel at Port of Oakland

Officials say a group of pro-Paleostinian protesters on Saturday were again blocking an Israeli-owned commercial ship from unloading its cargo at a port in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,.

International Longshore and Warehouse Union front man Craig Merrilees says longshore workers did not unload cargo from the Zim Shanghai docked at the Port of Oakland on Saturday morning because of safety concerns raised by the presence of police and protesters.

Steve Zeltzer, a front man for the Stop Zim Action Committee, says about 200 protesters planned to demonstrate again during the longshore workers' evening shift.

The protesters are demonstrating in response to recent Israeli military action in the Gazoo Strip.

Last month, protesters blocked cargo from unloading off the Zim Piraeus for nearly five days before the ship apparently departed to Los Angeles with a partial load.

#1 How about hiring some Sons of Obama to protest the protesters?

#2 Let's see...pro-Paleostinian protesters vs. longshoremen...yeah, I could see some "safety concerns" if the police weren't there to protect the protesters.

#3 The local unions work in concert with the lefty agit groups. Even before the ship is due in everyone knows the playbook. This has been going on for some time.
