In a disruptive display of radicalism, anti-Israel protesters created traffic chaos on Monday by blocking key roadways near Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and on San Francisco’s iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Cellphone videos shared online depicted protestors sitting in the middle of Interstate 190, using long tubes to obstruct access to O’Hare airport.

Many of the demonstrators were seen wearing checkered keffiyeh scarves and brandishing signs demanding “Free Palestine” and “Stop Genocide.” The unexpected roadblock required numerous travelers rushing to catch their flights at Terminal 1 to abandon their vehicles and proceed on foot.

Organizers of the protest targeted Boeing, citing the corporation’s sale of weapons to Israel for use in its conflict with Hamas. The group Chicago Dissenters explained their motivation in an Instagram post, stating, “On this Tax Day, when millions are paying taxes which fund the ongoing US and Israeli bombardment of Gaza, protestors seek to take dramatic action. O’Hare International Airport is one of the largest in the country, and there will be NO business as usual while Palestinians suffer at the hands of American-funded bombing by Israel.”
