Pro-Palestinian protestors block Port of Tacoma military ship

Hundreds of pro-Palestinian demonstrators are trying to block a military supply ship they believe is picking up weapons in Tacoma to ship to Israel.

In social media posts and text messages, organizers associated with the Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network called for people and motor vehicles to help them block the port. Originally scheduled for Sunday, organizers pushed the effort back to early Monday morning as they tried to track the ship’s movements.

Mid-Monday morning updates from an Instagram account called Samidoun Seattle called for more help to keep the blockade going.

“More bodies! More cars! We have to keep this boat BLOCKED,” read one post. Demonstrators said the blockade is aimed at stopping port workers from getting in to load the Cape Orlando.

If they need to move these folks they'll do so. In the meantime let them continue their virtue signaling.

I can’t remember the last time protesters messed with the military but I’m sure it’s never turned out well.
