Protesters block US ship carrying weapons for 'Israel'

A group of pro-Palestine protesters obstructed streets on Friday in response to suspicions that a US warship docked in the port might be transporting weapons to "Israel". They voiced worries that the vessel, named USNS Harvey Milk, could potentially supply the Israeli occupation forces with arms amid their ongoing genocide in Gaza. The new fueling and supply vessel was expected to leave San Francisco for Virginia. But protesters chained themselves to the vessel as part of an ongoing call for a ceasefire in Gaza. According to the organizers, they chose the ship because they heard reports it was headed to the Middle East, and House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi was going to be on the ship for a special event.
