Pro-Palestinian protestors block Tacoma port to halt suspected weapons shipment to Israel

TACOMA, Wash. — Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protestors swarmed the Port of Tacoma Monday morning in an attempt to block what they believed to be a ship that would be loaded with weapons and military equipment bound for Israel.

The Port of Tacoma entrance was blocked by protestors shortly before 5:30 a.m., forcing drivers to turn around. Pedestrians and cyclists were seen demonstrating with signs and chants. Some signs read "No aid for Israel” and "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."

"The goal here is to delay or stop any kind of arms shipments form the United States to Israel,” Eliyahu Khaspi told KOMO News.

The Tacoma Police Department (TPD) posted on X just after 10 a.m. advising drivers that traffic along East 11th Street was blocked from Port of Tacoma Road to Milwaukee Way due to “a protest demonstration.” The department said officers were at the scene to help direct traffic in the area and to “ensure the continued safety of all community members.”

Law enforcement AWOL on Saturday in DC at the White House and the Capitol for the 150,000 anti-Israeli pro-Palestinian demonstrators; again today in Tacoma, WA anti-Israeli pro-Palestinian demonstrators have shut down the docks and have prevented a ship loaded with U.S. military armament bound for Israel from sailing, again law enforcement AWOL with no pushback except to "direct traffic". I think we are seeing a pattern here.

It’s a replay of antifa and BLM in 2020.

Those LEO’s are not really enforcing the law/safety in: DC, NYC, Portland, Seattle, and Oakland with minimal media coverage at/in those cities/areas.

And Tacoma is a short 144 miles straight north drive from PORTLAND, home of the worst of the worst antifa. This is all commie territory.

“They are the same jackwads”

And the Tacoma port protest site is only 144 miles due north of their home base in Portland.

We can hope for the best, that they glue themselves to the ship just as it sails.

American Stasi probably knew this was coming and cleared the way for them.

They are all on the same team.
