Pro-Palestinian Protest Blocks Access to New York’s JFK Airport
Breitbart ^ | 12/27/2023 | JOEL B. POLLAK

A group of pro-Palestinian demonstrators temporarily blocked access to New York’s JFK airport on Wednesday, protesting on the Van Wyck Expressway and provoking police to make arrests.

New York’s local Fox affiliate reported:

At least 26 people were arrested Wednesday morning after an apparent pro-Palestinian demonstration blocked a portion of the Van Wyck Expressway inside John F. Kennedy International Airport, the Port Authority said.

Several demonstrators were seen holding banners reading “Free Palestine” and “Divest From Genocide,” creating gridlock traffic and forcing travelers to exit their ride-share vehicles and cart their luggage to their gates.

In a statement to FOX 5 NY, the Port Authority said, “At about 11:30 this morning, PAPD was notified of protest activity on the Van Wyck Expressway inside JFK Airport. 26 arrests were made for disorderly conduct and impeding vehicular traffic. The roadway was reopened at 11:50. During the disruption, the Port Authority dispatched two airport buses, offering rides to travelers involved in the backup to allow them to reach the airport safely.”

Some travelers were evidently forced to walk around the protest.

The Romans, in a fit of spite, applied the term “Palestine” to the Land of Israel after they defeated a Judean uprising in 135 CE.

We should stop calling them Pro Palestinian. They are ‘Pro Hamas’ protesters doing Hamas’s bidding.

Just run them over. Look to the recent protest on a Nevada indian reservation, quickly broken up at gun point.

We are witnessing a real-life invasion of our country and neither Republicans nor Democrats are doing anything about it.......these Pro-Palestinains evidence this and it’s going to get whole lot worse when they all hit the streets making demands.
