Protesters Block US Military Ship Allegedly Carrying Weapons For Israel by Kuginzi: 5:22am On Nov 07, 2023

Under dark skies and steady rain, hundreds of pro-Palestinian demonstrators rallied at the Port of Tacoma, in Washington state, to block a military supply vessel they believe will carry weapons from the United States to Israel.

There, they fear any weaponry on board will be used in Israel’s ongoing campaign against the Gaza Strip, where more than 10,000 Palestinians have been killed.

"We want a ceasefire now. We want people to stop getting murdered now. We want a real examination and action on US foreign policy and US funding to Israel,” said Wassim Hage, one of the protesters at the Tacoma rally.

Hage works as a case manager and community outreach coordinator with the Arab Resource and Organizing Center (AROC), the advocacy group that organised the protests.

He said a confidential source tipped AROC off that the vessel would be loaded with weapons and military equipment and sent to Israel, as it continues its military offensive in Gaza.

Al Jazeera could not immediately confirm that allegation. In an email to the publication, Jeff Jurgensen, a Pentagon spokesperson, said that the ship was indeed used to support the “movement of US military cargo”.

But he declined to offer further information. “Due to operational security, the [US Department of Defense] does not provide further transportation, movement details or information regarding the cargo embarked on these vessels,” he wrote

Second protest for vessel
In Tacoma, the ship, called the Cape Orlando, faced protesters of all ages in raincoats, puffer jackets and umbrellas marching outside its dock.

They waved the Palestinian flag, held signs saying “Defend Gaza” and chanted slogans like “Free Palestine” and “Not another nickel, not another dime, no more money for Israel’s crimes!”

Demonstrators used bicycles and cars, with their hazard lights blinking, to block traffic around the port. Seven Indigenous warriors in a ceremonial canoe also circled the waters nearby to block the ship.

What were they thinking when hamas invaded Israel?
Everyone was clapping for hamas but now that the game has changed hands, every hypocrite is crying wolves.
Hamas playing the victim game.

Americans don't know what they have on their hands. Muslim is fully rooted now and will soon consume them from the inside.

The sad truth is that these Muslims making noise in America today all migrated from Islamic countries. Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan Saudi Arabia etc. Were they had no freedom and rights for anything other than war,death and some useless sharia laws. Tell them to go back to their Islamic countries they will never go.

Don't open your doors to Muslims if you ever want peace. Else you go fight tire.

I have never seen a religion so toxic, chaotic, violent and problematic like Islam.

Muslims across the world, why do you hate peaceful coexistence?

You fight yourselves and also fight others.

God forbid! spits....

As for Palestinians, I have no pity for you guys. Since they have refused to coexist in peace with Israel.
Gaza will continue to be a graveyard.

Every life matters except the terrorists, spare none of them cos the innocent people protecting them doesn’t understand what they’re capable of.

How can you claim to be resistance squad while you attacked, kidnapped and killed innocent people provoking war. Defenders does not attack, they simply resist

Death to all hamas terrorists and fvk America and Israel too

In as much as I want the war to cease, hamas acted stupidly cos they gave Istrael the opportunity, which they've been longing for, to eliminate them.

Nothing like peace anyway. The war has to end

Freedom is always celebrated in America because it's part of the Democratic dispensation.
But can anyone in Russia do this for Ukraine - without having a Bloody Nose?
Can you do this in North-Korea,Iran, Egypt or China, especially where you have Dictators in Power?
