Protesters Continue Bid to Block Israeli Ship in Washington State 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Residents in Washington State have continued to protest the Israeli
assault and the longstanding 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."
