In Solidarity with Palestinians, especially those beseiged and bombarded in Gaza, we will block 2 Israeli ZIM Ships from docking and unloading at the Port of Oakland.
It happened in 2010 and it will happen again!

The Palestinian people are under attack by the state of Israel, with the support of the U.S. government. Palestinian children are being murdered, their hospitals are being bombed, and Palestinian workers are being fired, beaten, arrested, and killed for striking in response. We call on a broad coalition of Pro-Palestinian labor, human rights, and anti-war organizations to join us for direct actions and pickets against the Israeli Shipping company ZIM!

-Meet at West Oakland BART at 5 AM where we will march to SSA Berth 57 at the Port at 5:10 SHARP!

On Monday July 21st there was a General Strike in Israel protesting the bloody and violent occupation of Palestinian lands. We believe that the working class must take a stand to defend the human rights of Palestinians.
An Injury to One is An Injury to All!
Tear Down The Apartheid Wall!

Ralph NADER…UNSTOPPABLE as an UNREASONABLE Man
Almighty Spiritual Warriors set to claim the Promised Land
Are they not charging crazy $$ for poisoning our water
Seeking to escalate military actions…our children for fodder
The time Be upon us to exercise our Ultimate LEVERAGE
The 40 Freedom GENERAL STRIKE be served as our Beverage
OUR TAX $$$$ used to murder children in Palestine
What of the Balfour Agreement…or “Zionism by Albert Einstein ?

A great group of Latino activist marched in solidarity with Palestine under the banner "Movement for the Reunification of Families." SF is receiving hundreds of children seeking refuge from US-created violence in Central America and Mexico. Please come out and support us. We must unite our struggles in the streets. There is no major march for Palestine this weekend in SF, but bring your Palestine flags and show our Latino community that we all stand together. See you Saturday!

Did the Grey Panthers I learned this from get invited to this 'meeting'? ..."action was more or less postponed, per one of the organizer/supporters"...how does a 'supporter' veto the support of a dozen groups... AROC: Arab Resource and Organizing Center, Palestinian Youth Movement, US Palestinian Community Network, International Jewish Antizionist Network, ANSWER Coalition, Haiti Action Network, Al Awda, New York, Friends of Sabeel - North America , Jews for Palestinian Right of Return , International Action Center, OccupySF Action Council, Workers World Party, Lake Merritt Neighbors Organized for Peace, @healthyhoodz, Young Oakland, American Friends Service Committee ...a "supporter" who trumpets retreat?
