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."

Yeah, right.
How to win friends and influence people.
I don’t understand why cars stop.
Let their bodies float from the river to the sea.
When encountering these anti-Israeli protests, slime the front hood, grille and fenders with liquid dish soap. Easily done with a spray bottle. Then plow through them, an easy slide. The terrorist antagonists could use a bath, soap is a good start. If you have time, rig up windshield washer jets to spray water on them before plowing through.
where’s my t-shirt on that one?
Do it in reverse so you don’t mess up your grill and the bodies slow you down.
This is violence.
This is why it is happening

Bear spray!! I will spray hell out of anybody trying to block me in traffic!!
Yes. There is a RR bridge. I think the next bridge is 20 miles south.
nothing a little tear gas, bear spray would not solve quickly.
Shame they weren't blocking it too... Although it makes no sense to me why they are complaining about Israel's actions. According to their oft expressed beliefs all the Pali's so killed by Israel are going to Paradise. Left to themselves they wouldn't reach there near as quickly if at all. The protesters should be thanking Israel for its assistance and traveling there to receive it personally.
Charge them under the FACES Act.
Do the women want to be beaten like dogs as the Koran commands?
Add this group to our list of Hamas terrorism supporters.
Memphis has become a leftist craphole despite its music.
Nashville is one of the top crime centers in Tennessee.
In this case, to the Gulf of Mexico.
