A successful protest in solidarity with the people and trade unionists of Palestinian Gaza, and a protest in response to the massacre on the Free Gaza Flotilla ship Mavi Marmara, leads to union longshoreman refusing to unload Israeli cargo from a Zim Lines ship.
This the first refusal by US dockworkers to unload Israeli cargo after the attack on the Free Gaza Flotilla that killed one American and eight other persons with Turkish citizenship. Similar efforts are blocking Israeli cargo in Norway, Sweden, Malaysia and South Africa.
The world is calling for an end to the the illegal siege and naval blockade of Gaza, and an international investigation into the crimes committed by the IDF against the Free Gaza Flotilla.
