Protest Israel’s Attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla!
Boycott 
 Israeli Ships and Goods!
Lift the Blockade NOW – Let Gaza Live!
Bring 
 Down Israel's Apartheid Wall!\n\nUnions, labor federations and other 
 organizations around the world have condemned Israel’s deadly attack 
 against the Gaza Freedom Flotilla on May 31, 2010. 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\nIsrael maintains a deadly blockade 
 against 1.5 million people in Gaza, with claims ranging from the control of 
 weapons to achieving demographic superiority in favor of Israel’s 
 occupation. The construction of the apartheid wall in the West Bank aims to 
 create Jewish-only colonies on Palestinian territories. Israel’s foreign 
 minister, Avigdor Lieberman, rose to prominence calling for the expulsion 
 of the indigenous Palestinian people living in the borders of the Israeli 
 green line.\n\nIsraeli Apartheid can fall too !\n\nsimilar to the Apartheid 
 State of South Africa,\n\nIsrael’s best friend
\n\nAlong with dock 
 workers from Sweden and Norway, calls from Malaysia, and following previous 
 actions from South Africa, we will picket the arrival of Israel’s Zim 
 Lines ship. In San Francisco in 1984, ILWU Local 10 & ILWU Local 34 
 longshore workers refused to unload a ship carrying South African cargo and 
 this was a key event in mobilizing the anti-apartheid movement worldwide. 
 We will be picketing the Zim ship and asking the ILWU longshore workers not 
 to cross the picket line in solidarity with international action against 
 apartheid Israel and their blockade of Gaza\n\nAn Injury to One is an 
 Injury to All\n\nIsraeli apartheid must fall!\n\n
We call on everyone who 
 stands for justice and against occupation and apartheid to join the June 20 
 picket at the Port of Oakland.\n\n
The Israeli Zim Lines ship is 
 scheduled to dock at Berth 58 on Middle Harbor Rd. in the Port of Oakland, 
 about a mile from the West Oakland BART station. BART does not begin 
 running on Sundays until 6:00 a.m. There is parking available at the BART 
 station and on nearby streets.\n\nCar pooling coordination:
