DESCRIPTION:After the historic Oakland port victory, time to intensify the struggle 
 \nNetanyahu in U.S.—Protest in the Streets!\n\nBring down the blockade of 
 Gaza and Israel’s apartheid wall!\nFree Palestine—End colonial 
 occupation! \nJustice for the victims of Israel’s attack on the Gaza 
 Freedom Flotilla!\nEnd U.S. aid to Israel—Boycott Israeli Ships and 
 Goods!\n\nOn July 6, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu will be in Washington 
 meeting with President Obama. The meeting was originally scheduled for June 
 1, the day after Israel’s act of piracy and murder against the Gaza 
 Freedom Flotilla that left at least nine people dead and dozens wounded. 
 Every day, Palestinians continue to be killed, wounded and imprisoned by 
 the occupation forces. \n\nThe 24-hour shutdown of the SSA terminal at the 
 Port of Oakland where an Israeli Zim lines ship docked on June 20 was an 
 historic victory. More than 1,000 people joined the morning and afternoon 
 mass picket lines, which were honored by members of the International 
 Longshore and Warehouse Union, Local 10. June 20 was the first time ever 
 that an Israeli ship was boycotted in a U.S. port. Norwegian, Swedish and 
 South African dock workers have called protests refusing to handle Israeli 
 cargo.\n\nThe worldwide BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement 
 against Israeli apartheid is rapidly gaining momentum. Just last week, the 
 largest British public workers union, UNISON, which has more than 1.4 
 million members passed a motion at it’s national conference reading, in 
 part: “Conference reaffirms the support for an economic, cultural and 
 sporting boycott of Israel and call on Unison to join the scores of unions 
 around the world who have endorsed the Palestinian call for boycott, 
 divestment and sanctions against Israel. Further to that as an immediate 
 sanction for the illegal attack on the flotilla, we call on the government 
 to expel the Israeli ambassador.” \n\nDemonstrations are planned in 
 Washington DC, San Francisco and other cities on July 6. Join the protest 
 at the Israeli consulate on July 6 and bring your friends, neighbors, 
 fellow workers and students. \n\nInitiated by: A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition—Act 
 Now to Stop War and End Racism. \n\nVolunteers needed!\nCall 415-821-6545 
 to volunteer or come by the ANSWER office to pick up leaflets and posters, 
 2489 Mission St. #24, SF. Volunteers are needed to help hand out leaflets,
