Adams’ alignment with pro-Israel forces is reflected in the ILWU’s recent actions on the issue of Palestine. The decision to block a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza is a clear indication of the union leadership’s shift to the right on this issue. This is a dangerous development, as it undermines the ILWU’s reputation as a militant and principled union that stands in solidarity with oppressed peoples around the world.

It also means challenging any attempts by the leadership to align with pro-Israel forces and undermine the union’s history of international solidarity.

Without U.S. weaponry, the Zionist militarists would be stymied. “Genocide Joe” Biden’s pretense of concern about civilian casualties is nothing
