Pro-Palestinian demonstrators blocked roadways in Illinois, California, New York and the Pacific Northwest on Monday, temporarily shutting down travel into some of the nation's most heavily used airports, onto the Golden Gate and Brooklyn bridges and on a busy West Coast highway.
In Chicago, protesters linked arms and blocked lanes of Interstate 190 leading into O'Hare International Airport around 7 a.m. in a demonstration they said was part of a global “economic blockade to free Palestine,” according to Rifqa Falaneh, one of the organizers.
Traffic in the San Francisco Bay Area was snarled for hours as demonstrators shut down all vehicle, pedestrian and bike traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge and chained themselves to 55-gallon drums filled with cement across Interstate 880 in Oakland. Protesters marching into Brooklyn blocked Manhattan-bound traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge. In Eugene, Oregon, protesters blocked Interstate 5, shutting down traffic on the major highway for about 45 minutes.
Protesters say they chose O’Hare in part because it is one of the largest airports. Among other things, they’ve called for an immediate cease-fire in the war between Israel and Hamas.
Anti- war protesters have demonstrated in Chicago near daily since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel that killed around 1,200 people. Israeli warplanes and ground troops have since conducted a scorched-earth campaign on the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli offensive has killed more than 33,700 Palestinians, according to the Gaza health ministry. The ministry does not differentiate between civilians and combatants in its count but says women and children make up two-thirds of the dead.
Some travelers stuck in standstill traffic left their cars and walked the final leg to the airport along the freeway, trailing their luggage behind them.

This appears to have been a coordinated attack on Americans.

Islam’s War on the US continues to build.
“...This appears to have been a coordinated...”
I agree with the “coordinated” part, but to me it more feels like a practice run, and they have something much bigger in mind.
(or perhaps I’m just paranoid)

Attention Democrats: This is your country under Democrat Joe Biden.
But, you know, keep worrying about “pronouns” “Global Warming” “President Trump” and “Pride Parades”.
All is well, eh?
The did this in Cleveland not too long ago, except they used their own cars and trucks to stop traffic in multiple access points.

No arrests were made.
Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.
It was easy for them to shut down highways and airports. They have noticed that the authorities aren’t very upset over it, and will now move on to bigger targets.
Meanwhile people who carried a Trump flag and were in Washington on Jan 6 are rotting in jail.
Drive through them. Enough is enough.
Just have Speed Racer use the Mach 5’s saw blades - road cleared!
And traitorous leaders in those city and state governments let the domestic enemies of the United States get away with it.
I kinda don’t feel sorry for all those people stuck in traffic in cities like San Francisco and New York. You wanted this, you got it Toyota. Suck it up. Elections have consequences. You turned all this loose upon yourselves.
As Mel the Cop to Frank Lopez just before Mano blasted him.....”It’s your tree Frank, your sitting in it.”...something like that.....LOL...Mel himself didn’t last long though......Every dog has it’s day........
One of these times there will be such a protest and out will pop several heavily armed gunmen, these protests are just dry runs, stay alert everyone.
Am I the only one who sees that as a lost opportunity????
I mean, people illegally blocking roads in support of people who wish fervently for "Death To America" and raped, murdered, and defaced the bodies of innocent women and children, who chained themselves to 55 gallon drums, on a bridge going over a body of water...
Seems like all that would have been needed was a forklift to pick up the drums and throw them off the bridge, taking all the chains and murderous scumbags with them.
But, given this is California, I am certain there would have been some pollution violations with the filthy bastards being thrown into the drink.
(NOTE: I know the protestors were chained near Oakland, but...I liked thinking they had been on the bridge...)
