Israeli Ship May Leave Oakland To Unload Cargo

An Israeli cargo ship at the Port of Oakland will "eventually leave" for another West Coast port if activists protesting Israel's military actions in Gaza continue a waterfront demonstration that has blocked the ship's unloading, Israel's consul general in San Francisco said Tuesday. A handful of demonstrators remained Monday morning, left, but more arrived later to try to block the evening shift of workers from unloading the ship. Longshore workers responsible for unloading the vessel have refused to do so, hoping to stay clear of the political dispute, union representatives said.
