DESCRIPTION:Join the Labor and Community Picket of an Israeli Zim Lines 
 Ship\nWhen\nSun, June 20, 5:30am – 7:00am\nWhere\nPort of Oakland, Berth 
 57, Middle Harbor Road, Oakland (map)\nDescription\nProtest 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! Unions, 
 labor federations and other organizations around the world -- including the 
 San Francisco and Alameda County Labor Councils --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. The 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 anywhere 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. 
 We 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. Sponsored by:
