Astounding that there is no media coverage of this. Activists are blocking the Zim San Diego from docking & unloading to protest Israeli apartheid,. The ship has been sitting out there in the Sound for 5 days.

On this day 54 years ago, my family was ethnically cleansed from our village, Yalu. Israel violently erased us from our land, but never replaced us with settlers. It figures prominently in Israeli greenwashing campaigns. Our only crime was being in Israel's way. This is our story

Dear
@GovInslee
,
Please read this thread and act. We support you!
Dear Governors:
Today, Trump finally told the truth: "I don’t take responsibility at all”
You’re left holding the bag. The tough calls are all on you.
But there’s an easy way you can save 52,000 lives: use your emergency powers to release caged immigrants in your states.

Oh look. Those people are wrong. Apartheid Israel is terrified of the power of Palestinians and their allies.
