(TheRedAlertNews.com) – In a new disruption of public life in the United States, anti-Semitic supporters of Palestinian Islamist terrorists Hamas have blocked a road to John F. Kennedy International Airport, causing the police to arrest dozens of them.
At least 26 individuals were apprehended during a protest opposing US ally Israel that impeded access to JFK airport on Wednesday, as reported by the police.
This demonstration commenced around 11 a.m. with approximately five vehicles halting abruptly on the Van Wyck Expressway, adjacent to an Israeli flag near Terminal 4 of the Queens airport.
A group of protestors exited their cars and displayed a banner proclaiming “Right to return home” and “Divest from genocide,” The New York Post reports.
Social media footage later revealed up to 40 participants interlocking hands to obstruct traffic on the highway and a service road, compelling travelers to journey on foot to their terminals under rainy conditions, carrying their luggage.
The protesters were observed chanting “From the river to the sea,” a phrase commonly interpreted as advocating for the eradication of Israel, and “Free, free Palestine,” while brandishing Palestinian flags.
Frustrated travelers, including one individual who a Post photographer saw inquiring Port Authority Police Department officers regarding the non-removal of protesters, were also seen abandoning taxis and proceeding to the airport by foot.
The protest endured for approximately 30 minutes, during which additional Port Authority officers arrived. Subsequently, these officers began detaining the chanting protestors.
As some demonstrators were escorted away, others dispersed their formation, enabling the resumption of vehicle movement.
The protesters, now handcuffed, were seated on the sidewalk before being boarded onto an MTA bus.
A minimum of 26 individuals were detained and later released with desk appearance tickets, according to police sources.
Remarkably, no altercations occurred during the protest. One protester was seen offering a $50 bill to a taxi driver blocked by the demonstration, presumably as compensation for the inconvenience.
Concurrently, a similar protest was unfolding outside Los Angeles International Airport in Southern California.
Video footage from this Los Angeles protest showed another group, numbering at least two dozen, displaying signs with messages such as “Ceasefire not enough. Land back! Free Palestine” in the midst of a street.
