Jewish and Pro-Palestinian Protests Paralyze Los Angeles Freeway

Jewish protesters from the If Not Now organization blocked traffic on the 110 Freeway in Los Angeles during rush hour, demanding a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and an end to U.S. support for Israel's military operations. The protesters, wearing black shirts reading "Not in Our Name," held up placards calling for Israel to halt its actions in Gaza. Some motorists engaged in altercations with the protesters before police intervened, and around 75 protesters were detained when the California Highway Patrol cleared the highway. The Israeli military campaign in Gaza has sparked protests globally.

Protesters Demand Ceasefire in Israel-Gaza Conflict, Sparking Arrests and Fears of Riot

Around 300 Jewish protesters, including American Jews and allies concerned about Palestinians in Gaza, were arrested by U.S. Capitol Police inside the Cannon House Office Building in Washington, D.C., while demanding that Congress pass a cease-fire resolution in the Israel-Gaza war. The protesters, wearing black shirts with slogans, held banners, waved Palestinian flags, and raised posters expressing their opposition to Israeli occupation. The demonstration comes amid escalating protests across the Middle East following a deadly strike on a hospital in Gaza City. President Biden has expressed support for Israel, but the protesters called for an end to the conflict and highlighted the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
