Pro-Palestinian Protesters Halt Military Ship to Israel at Port of Oakland
Pro-Palestinian protesters blocked a U.S. military supply ship, loaded with weapons and military equipment bound for Israel, from departing the Port of Oakland. The protesters, organized by the Arab Resource Organizing Center, locked themselves to the vessel and demanded an end to U.S. military aid to Israel. The protest lasted for several hours and ended peacefully, with no arrests reported. Three protesters who climbed onto the ship were detained by the U.S. Coast Guard.
