Israel at the Port <br>
Zionism isn't welcome in our town!<br>
</span><br>
Block the Israeli Zim Ship at the Port of Oakland<br>
Saturday, August 16th<span class="text_exposed_show"><br>
5am – meet at West Oakland Bart and march to Berth 57<br>
<br>
STOP THE SIEGE ON GAZA! <br>
END THE COLONIAL OCCUPATION OF PALESTINE! <br>
RIGHT OF RETURN FOR ALL PALESTINIAN REFUGEES! <br>
FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS! <br>
BOYCOTT, DIVEST, SANCTION!<br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight:bold;">What’s happening?</span><br>
The world has watched in horror as Israel has
continued to bombard and devastate Gaza. Millions
around the globe have come out in support of the
Palestinian people and against the Zionist regime,
holding massive marches, demonstrations, and actions.
Here in the Bay, San Francisco witnessed some of the
biggest mobilizations in recent years, with a series
of marches, each bringing out thousands of people.
It’s time to step it up.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight:bold;">Call to Action</span><br>
Palestine is calling us to action! Palestinians
laborers, <span style="font-weight:bold;">Palestinian
General Federation Trade Union (PGFTU)</span>, have
called on workers around the world to refuse to handle
Israel goods. Palestinians throughout Gaza, the West
Bank and 1948 Palestine have demonstrated their unity
in the struggle against Apartheid Israel and have
taken to the streets in the tens of thousands, bravely
facing Israeli military armed with US made weapons to
call on the international community to stand with them
as they resist Zionism throughout all of historic
Palestine. We will be answering this call by
organizing community pickets at the Port of Oakland,
asking the longshoreman to honor this request and to
stand with the people of Palestine as they have done
in the past.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight:bold;">Historical Background<br>
</span> During apartheid in South Africa, ILWU workers
made history when they refused to unload South African
cargo in San Francisco in 1984. This action was a
major catalyst for international anti-apartheid
solidarity and struggle worldwide. In 2010, after a
Turkish flotilla, the Mavi Marmara, was attacked by
Israel for attempting to bring humanitarian aid to
Gaza, we built on ILWU’s history and successfully
blocked the Israeli Zim ship from being unloaded at
the Port of Oakland — the first time in US history an
Israeli ship was blocked. We will be continuing this
legacy by organizing to block the Israeli ship once
again. And just as apartheid fell in South Africa, so
to it will fall in Israel!<br>
<span style="font-weight:bold;"><br>
Sustained BDS in the Bay</span><br>
If there is one thing that the latest Israeli attacks
show, it’s the power of Palestinian resilience. The
resistance in Gaza is still alive and thriving,
despite Israel’s ongoing attempts to destroy it. But
we should always remember that the Palestinian
resistance did not begin with Israel’s latest
bombardment, nor did it begin during the last
bombardment. It has been going on since 1948, since
Israel came into existence. And it will not cease
until Israeli apartheid falls.<br>
<br>
We refuse to allow Israel to conduct its business as
usual, here in the Bay and everywhere!<br>
<br>
Every Saturday, the Israeli owned Zim shipping line
docks and unloads its cargo at the Port of Oakland.
Let this action be the beginning of a sustained
campaign to stop the Israeli ship from ever unloading
in our town.<br>
<br>
From Seattle to Oakland to Los Angeles – turn the
Israeli ship around!<br>
<br>
We encourage all of our allies on the West Coast to
join us in ensuring that Zim ships are not welcome
anywhere.<br>
<br>
Not in Palestine<br>
<br>
Not in the Bay<br>
<br>
Not Anywhere<br>
<br>
Stand Against Apartheid Everywhere<br>
