"The international community must cut all economic ties, all defense coordination and contracts, and all diplomatic, intellectual and cultural links with Israel until Zionism is recognized as racism. Until this happens, Israel continues to be the single biggest threat to world peace. The possibility of a better society will keep being suffocated by the black hole of Israel's insistence on perpetuating injustice against the Palestinians," - partnered with Washington, "indistinguishable from Tel Aviv, or vice versa. Obama is either unwilling (or) unable....to break from that....Palestinians have no hope in (him). He won't help them, and never intended to."
More good news - a first in America against Israel.
On June 20 in Oakland, CA, over 800 longshoremen pickets blocked the unloading of an Israeli ship, the ZIM Shenhen, chanting:
"Free, free Palestine. Don't cross the picket line. An injury to one is an injury to all - the Israeli apartheid wall will fall."
An ad hoc Labor/Community Committee in Solidarity with the People of Palestine organized the action. Allied groups included the Transport Workers Solidarity Committee, several Palestinian solidarity groups, the Bay Area ANSWER Coalition, and local labor activists.
Their boycott followed the earlier June International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) Local 10 motion condemning the Flotilla massacre, "call(ing) for unions to protest (by) any action they choose to take."
Organizations supporting the boycott included the Oakland Educational Association, San Francisco Labor Council, Alameda County Labor Council, Cuban Labor Federation, Labor for Palestine, the Palestinian General Federation of Trade Unions, and numerous other groups - in solidarity with Occupied Palestinians.
