The "Zim Sjhanghai" that was blocked from unloading its cargo at the Port of Oakland by pro-Palestinian protesters on Sep 27, 2014, was headed to Los Angeles on Sep 28. Some 200 people angry over Israel’s bombardment of the Gaza Strip in response to Hamas rocket salvoes had staged a protest of the Zim Shanghai at the Port of Oakland on Sep 27.
