Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protestors swarmed the Port of Tacoma Monday morning in an attempt to block what they believe to be a ship that will be loaded with weapons and military equipment before it departs to the Middle East.
The Port of Tacoma entrance was blocked by protestors shortly before 5:30 a.m., forcing drivers to turn around. Pedestrians and cyclists were seen demonstrating with signs and chants. Some signs read "No aid for Israel” and "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."
The ship, protestors believe, was at the Port of Oakland on Friday. Bay Area protestors, angered by the approval of U.S. aid to Israel, demonstrated there as well. ABC7 San Francisco reported the ship would head to Washington state en route to Israel.
