Anti-Israel protesters in the Bay Area united with sympathetic ILWU union thugs this week to block an Israeli ship from docking at the Port of Oakland. The Zim Piraeus has reportedly pulled away from the port.

Zim Piraeus now going at 6.6 knots. Four days behind schedule because of #BlockTheBoat

The standoff has stretched out for the past four days.

Many people here are coming back tomorrow at 5:30AM, at the encouragement of several ILWU contacts. Will be autonomous action. #BlockTheBoat
