Protesters in Australia prevent Israeli cargo ship from docking at Sydney port
Protesters who gathered at the port on Saturday claimed that they had forced the Israeli ship to reschedule its arrival.
Pro-Palestinian protesters waved Palestinian flags and chanted from the shore, ABC News reported.
The Palestine Justice Movement for Sydney and Trade Unionists for Palestine, the protest organizers, declared the demonstration to be the “first step of the campaign against the Israeli shipping line ZIM.”
Speaking to the protestors, Paddy Gibson of Trade Unionists for Palestine vowed to financially harm Israel.
“They’re in every port of the world, which means we can fight them in every port of the world and bring them to their knees,” Gibson was quoted by the broadcaster as saying, adding, “Start hitting them economically where it hurts.”
