In Sweden, dockworkers have launched a week-long boycott of all ships and goods originating from or destined to Israel. The Swedish Dockworkers Union had announced the action shortly after the Israeli killing of nine activists in its assault on the Free Gaza Movements aid flotilla last month. The dockworkers protest will take place at all unionized Swedish ports until Tuesday. It comes days after hundreds of Bay Area peace activists temporarily prevented an Israeli ship from unloading its goods at an Oakland port after the local longshoremens union refused to cross their picket line.
