Traffic starting to move again on I-40 bridge after being blocked by pro-Palestinian protestors
Local Memphis ^ | 2/3/24 | Gus Carrington

Multiple lanes were blocked on the Memphis-Arkansas I-40 bridge during a pro-Palestinian protest that began at Memphis City Hall on Saturday.

Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) cameras revealed a large crowd with traffic completely stopped behind them for some time. As of around 4:30 p.m. these cameras reveal now that some traffic is moving again.

Additionally, the I-55 bridge was closed by TDOT for construction during the weekend.

The protest began at city hall by organization Memphis Voices for Palestine "in light of the recent ruling by the International Criminal Court," that stated "plausible evidence of genocide happening in Gaza by the Isreali military."

"As we reach well over the 100-day mark of war on Gaza, many people of all walks of life, of all faiths, and races are saying enough is enough," Memphian supporter of the rally Seema Rasoul said the morning of the protest. "They do not want their tax dollars being used to kill Palestinian men, women and children. We are organizing this rally to bring together all those who believe in justice and humanity."

There is no reason for this to be allowed unless a) TN authorities agree with their actions; or b) they are scared of what will happen should they attempt to stop them.

I believe it is against the law to block the flow of traffic in all states. Why is this being allowed?

My opinion is very basic. All Palestinians and their supporters are Hamas. Period. Full stop.

I remember back in 1953 dad’s old car broke down right in the middle of the old Mississippi river bridge. Transmission gave out.

Long before I-40. Note to self....If going to Nashville to visit kin, rig up two propane weed burners as flamethrowers.

I agree. I’ve seen no evidence that shows me otherwise.

The Palestinian protestors are also on an overpass on I-40 just West of Raleigh. Every day they hang their protest banners and wave Palestinian flags.

When this broke out several months ago they shut down the main highway through Durham NC during rush hour.

“Why is this being allowed?”

For the same reason that the border was completely erased.
For the same reason that President Trump is endlessly persecuted for nothing.
For the same reason that libs murder millions of babies.
For the same reason that criminals run free forcing stores out of business.
For the same reason Venezuelan thugs can beat up NYC cops and flee.
For the same reason leftist commies can run riot for three months, injuring 1,500 police officers and destroying $2 billion of buildings.
For the same reason you are hated for white skin.

But you knew all that.

These BLM and paid George Soros mobs have only a comic book idea of the complicated middle-East.

They’re a complete, pitiful joke.

They are Hamas that were let in by the traitorous occupier of the WH and we will probably see them activated sometime this year.

What better way to win people to your cause than to piss them off with stupid sh*t like this?

Does Memphis have only two bridges across the Mississippi River?
