<font face="Georgia" size=4><b>Unions, labor federations and other
organizations around the world -- <u>including the San Francisco and
Alameda County Labor Councils</u> --have condemned Israel's deadly attack
against the Gaza Freedom Flotilla on May 31, 2010. Nine people were
killed and dozens seriously injured in the Israeli commando attack in
international waters on ships attempting to bring humanitarian cargo to
the suffering and blockaded people of Gaza. Six people aboard the ships
are still missing and presumed dead. <br><br>
</font><font face="Georgia" size=4 color="#0000FF">The Israeli attack on
the Gaza Freedom Flotilla was a blatant act of piracy on the high seas.
No Israeli ship should now be allowed to carry on trading activity
anywhere in the world without facing picket lines, protests and embargo.
Dock workers in several countries including South Africa, Norway, Sweden
and Malaysia have declared that they will refuse to handle Israeli cargo
in the coming weeks. <br><br>
</font><font face="Georgia" size=4>We call on everyone who stands for
justice and against occupation and apartheid to join the June 20 picket
at the Port of Oakland. This is a moment of great opportunity. In San
Francisco in 1984, a picket line and refusal to unload cargo of a ship
carrying South African cargo was a key event in mobilizing the
anti-apartheid movement worldwide.<br><br>
