Protesters Continue Bid to Block Israeli Ship in Washington State

HeadlineAug 26, 2014

Residents in Washington state have continued to protest the Israeli assault and the long-standing blockade of Gaza by trying to block a cargo ship run by the Israeli company ZIM. One person was arrested after scores of people gathered at the Port of Seattle on Monday. The protesters said they plan to continue their actions.

JM Wong: “There’s already another ZIM ship that’s here that we didn’t know about, but they’re coming, they’re coming, and if we keep doing monthly protests and monthly blockades of ZIM, they’re going to get the idea that Seattle does not want them here.”
