DESCRIPTION:Join the Labor and Community Picket of an Israeli Zim Lines 
 Ship—Oakland\n\nSunday, June 20, 5:30 a.m. (morning)\nPort of Oakland, 
 Berth 57, Middle Harbor Rd\n\nProtest Israel’s Attack on the Gaza Freedom 
 Flotilla! \nBoycott Israeli Ships and Goods! \nLift the Blockade NOW – 
 Let Gaza Live! \nBring Down Israel's Apartheid Wall! \nUnions, labor 
 federations and other organizations around the world have condemned 
 Israel’s deadly attack against the Gaza Freedom Flotilla on May 31. Nine 
 people were killed and dozens seriously injured in the Israeli commando 
 attack in international waters on ships attempting to bring humanitarian 
 cargo to the suffering and blockaded people of Gaza. Six people aboard the 
 ships are still missing and presumed dead.\n \nThe Israeli attack on the 
 Gaza Freedom Flotilla was a blatant act of piracy on the high seas. No 
 Israeli ship should now be allowed to carry on trading activity any where 
 in the world without facing picket lines, protests and embargo. Dock 
 workers in several countries including South Africa, Norway, Sweden and 
 Malaysia have declared that they will refuse to handle Israeli cargo in the 
 coming weeks.\n \nWe call on everyone who stands for justice and against 
 occupation and apartheid to join the June 20 picket at the Port of Oakland. 
 This is a moment of great opportunity. In San Francisco in 1984, a picket 
 line and refusal to unload cargo of a ship carrying South African cargo was 
 a key event in mobilizing the anti-apartheid movement worldwide.\n 
 \nSponsored by: Labor / Community Committee in Solidarity with the People 
 of Palestine:\nArab American Union Members Council, ANSWER (Act Now to Stop 
 War and End Racism), Palestine Youth Network, US Palestine Community 
 Network, Al Awda- Right to Return Coalition, Arab Youth Organization, 
 MECA-Middle East Children’s Alliance, Students for Justice in Palestine, 
 Arab Resource and Organizing Center, International Solidarity Movement, San 
 Jose Peace and Justice Center, International Socialist Organization, Peace 
 and Freedom Party - SF, Transport Workers Solidarity Committee and many 
 labor activists in the Bay Area (list in formation)\n\n\n\n
