#1 What a bunch of idiots.

#2 The old-fashioned Marxist-Leninists of International A.N.S.W.E.R. are long-time supporters of Hamas and Hizb'allah according to Wikipedia, so this action should not be a surprise.

But really, a few hundred demonstrators, when they used to be involved in the anti-invasion marches in 2002-2003 that contained more than a million? That's pretty pathetic. On the other hand, they were kicked out from the anti-war planning group because of their attitude and behaviour, so perhaps this is all that remains. No doubt they'll look pretty silly when it's revealed how many other Israeli cargoes have been unloaded in June that they were unaware of.

#3 What I can't figure out is how people in Oakland can support an organization (Hamas) that is based solely on racism. Hamas in Gaza is like the KKK taking over a small portion of Alabama and vowing to not rest until only whites remain in the rest of the state.

Ask some simple questions:

How many mosques in Israel?

How many synagogues in Gaza?

How many Muslims live and work in Israel?

How many Jews live and work in Gaza?

#4 Well for one crosspatch - the residents of Oakland are overwhelmingly Democratic - so their definition of 'Racism' has nothing to do with actual 'Race'. And Hamas is much like the old 'KKK' (who's members were mostly Democrats).

I guess you might say the democrats yearn of the 'Grand Old Days' of the old south. Jim Crow Laws (also a Democratic creation), segregation, and some good ole hatred (and even Lynching) of one race or another.
