Oakland Block the Boat misses the boat, again

There was another anti-Israel promenade across the Oakland docks on Sunday.  It was a picture perfect day by the bay, and yes, it was a lovely day for a walk.  Holding signs calling for the destruction of Israel, 150 activists walked from West Oakland BART to the docks, aiming to stop a boat that wasn't even coming. (How could they fail?)  What was particularly strange about this particular  "block the boat protest" is that the anti-Israel activists were protesting the Zim Beijing, a ship heading due west, that was well over a thousand miles away.

Perhaps they hadn't bothered to check the schedule at Zim's website?

As part of Zim's restructuring, they will be consolidating  their shipping, and relying more on subcontractors. Economies of scale are particularly important in container shipping and this current strategy may enable them to survive the economic downturn within the shipping industry.

Expect the BDS'ers to distort this routine business decision beyond recognition and call it a "victory" for their cause.
