Oakland, June 4 (RHC)-- Actions are taking place across the United States this weekend -- including in Seattle, Oakland, Los Angeles and New York -- under the banner “Block the Boat.” The actions are designed to prevent Israeli-operated cargo ships, owned by shipping giant Zim, from unloading at U.S. ports.
The "Block the Boat" protest is part of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions -- or BDS -- movement. Zim transports Israeli weapons, as well as consumer goods.
In related news, the United Educators of San Francisco last month became the first American K-12 public school union to endorse the BDS movement amid the deadly Israeli assault on Gaza.
