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.

Only because they have police protection ordered by Commie Governors....
It seems like there are cases where they chain themselves and they could just be left there, chained.
That’s what they want, right?
Great way to get someone on your side to support your “cause,” right?
Interfering with people’s ability to get to work, get their kids to school, get to the airport for a flight, get to a doctor’s appointment - not to mention blocking ambulances and firetrucks.
They should have been immediately dragged off of the freeway and jailed - deported if they’re not citizens.
But, as this is California, they were allowed to block the Golden Gate Bridge for 5 1/2 hours.
Blast them with loud noise and water hoses.
Spray them with bacon grease.
I feel the same way. All of this idiocy from the evil Socialist Democrats are practice runs. Trial Balloons. Tests. Whatever you want to call them.
And, just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re NOT out to get you! ;)
Great idea. Use the exploding ink packs they put in cash bags during robberies. ;)
