What started as a group of a few dozen activists affiliated with the Arab Resource and Organizing Center grew to as many as 150 protesters over the course of the morning, AROC’s press coordinator, Wassim Hage, told SFGATE. A source from the port informed AROC that the cargo ship Cape Orlando was scheduled to transport weapons to Israel, Hage said, after a stop in Tacoma, Washington.


A source from the port informed the Arab Resource and Organizing Center where the ship was going and what it was carrying. Isn't that the definition of spying?

Yep, revealing info about military shipments is espionage.

Some protesters have fastened themselves to the ladder leading up to the ship, Hage added.

Lots of cranes and hoists at the Port. Just hook it up and drop it into the scrap pile.

Issue resolved.

Interference with military ship must be illegal, even in this fallen country.

Protesters think they are like Thoreau or MLK being disobedient. More like Benedict Arnold.

Here’s a rhetorical question.

How did the “activists” get access to military shipping information?

MORE than 100? As in... 102?

Another “news” flash that isn’t.

I assume all these people had a TWIC card. You ain’t getting into the normal port without one. I’ve been to two ports where I have no doubt the Barney Fifes would shoot you if you tried to run their gate.

What is a TWIC card?
A Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) is a federal ID card issued by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). The purpose of a TWIC card is to give authorized workers access to secure areas of the nation’s maritime facilities.

Yeah, probably a higher entertainment level doing it that way.

“Load them on the ship and toss them overboard off shore from Gaza“

It will give them a chance to swim to shore.

I was going to say that’s why God gave us M60s, but Kongress and Ronald Reagan took them away.
