Becker [of ANSWER] said some workers [from the Longshoreman's Union] showed up for the morning shift, but virtually none did for the second. All agreed not to unload the ship or cross the picket lines, citing concern for their personal safety.
I find it very interesting that -- apparently by Becker's own admission (but the language is ambiguous here) -- the reason that the ship was unable to unload is because ANSWER threatened the personal safety of the dockworkers if they did (or at least, they perceived a threat to their personal safety).
Yeah, that's some peace movement. It's so nice to see that "leftist" advocacy has once again devolved into threatening workers -- if for no other reason than to reveal the true colors of the movements responsible.

Tried to Boycott Israeli Ship, Blocked Chinese Ship Instead

Would it be better if ANSWER misrepresented the reasons the dockworkers themselves presumably gave for not showing up, putting words in their mouths that might better suit its agenda?
People wonder what "ANSWER" is. It is a Marxist sect with anti-Semitic overtones! Its initials stand for "Anti-Semitic, Neo-Stalinist Sectarians Waging Eradication of Reason (satire)!" These moonbats are as incompetent in blocking the unloading of a Chinese ship, as they are stupid!
To borrow from Firefly, I give ANSWER credit for their honesty. Not, you know, much, but ....
