Dozens of Jewish demonstrators blocked a highway in Los Angeles during rush hour yesterday evening, demanding an end to the disastrous Israeli aggression on Gaza.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the demonstrators sat cross-legged on the ground next to each other in the middle of the highway; they stopped traffic, causing a traffic jam that extended for several kilometers in a city that already suffers from traffic congestion.

This protest was organized by IfNotNow, a group of American Jews seeking to end American support for the Israeli apartheid regime.
The demonstrators wore black T-shirts with the words. Not in our name and Jews say cease-fire now written in white.
The protesters also placed a huge menorah in the middle of the highway and chanted, “Cease-fire now.”

We can’t stand idly by as civilians are murdered by the thousands. Ceasefire now, said a protester in a post shared on the movement’s X account.
Millions face death by bomb, bullet, starvation & disease in Gaza. No more business as usual, said the group in another post on X.
About an hour after the start of the protest, police intervened and forcefully reopened the road.

As you may have noticed Paid Posters are posting here -this is the standard action of the USA/UK/Israeli governments to bring down-devalue a website. Dont be drawn into any arguments with them that’s what they want just ignore them that’s what hurts them the most –the next step by them is to curse and swear so newcomers are put off –then they attack the website with government help.
