Left-wing activists’ extreme narcissism always leads them to the same conclusion: You have no rights that they must respect. The latest example occurred Monday in Miami, Florida, where police arrested seven pro-Palestinian protesters for obstructing traffic, according to WSVN. That police response in Miami contrasted with the situation in some of America’s most liberal cities on Monday. In northern California, for instance, pro-Palestinian protesters shut down both San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge and I-880 in nearby Oakland. That particular demonstration of pathological narcissism occurred as part of a coordinated, nationwide, pro-Palestinian protest timed to coincide with the April 15 deadline...

CHICAGO — About 300 anti-war activists crowded into the basement of the Teamsters Union’s headquarters on Saturday to hear organizers from all over the country describe their plans to disrupt the Democratic National Convention this August. Joe Biden’s backing of Israel since Hamas’s October 7 attack has turned these left-wing radicals against their own party.

CHICAGO (AP) — Pro-Palestinian demonstrators blocked a freeway leading to three Chicago O'Hare International Airport terminals Monday morning, temporarily stopping vehicle traffic into one of the nation's busiest airports and causing headaches for travelers. Protesters linked arms and blocked lanes of Interstate 190 around 7 a.m., 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 also snarled for hours Monday morning as pro-Palestinian demonstrators shut down both directions of the Golden Gate Bridge and stalled a 17-mile (27-kilometer) stretch...

PORTLAND, Oregon — A group of protesters temporarily blocked all southbound lanes of Interstate 5 Monday morning, about a mile north of the intersection with Beltline Highway, between Eugene and Springfield. Photos show people were locking arms in a line across the interstate, some holding Palestinian flags, and law enforcement personnel were at the scene.

OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- Protesters are causing major traffic issues across the Bay Area, including in Oakland and on the Golden Gate Bridge, as part of a worldwide economic blockade in solidarity with Palestine.

Law enforcement had to cut through the barrels before they could arrest the protesters. Only one lane has been opened. Southbound I-880 has also closed as hundreds of protesters made their way onto the highway with...

Progressive activist groups from across the country are preparing to protest outside the Democratic National Convention “with or without permits” come August. Coalition leaders have attested their right to be within “sight and sound” of the convention’s center stage at the United Center, citing First Amendment rights in a federal lawsuit filed last month. On Saturday, leaders reaffirmed their commitment to be heard outside the DNC, despite the city’s denial of protest permits closer to the convention’s site. A couple of hundred people representing 78 activist organizations gathered Saturday for a day-long “working conference” hosted by the March on the...

A group of anti-Israel protesters calling for Congress to support a ceasefire and end military aid to Israel shut down the Senate cafeteria. The group of protesters, Christians for a Free Palestine, was captured on video in the Dirksen Senate Office Building and could be heard chanting, “We are Christians for Free Palestine,” “We are here to pray for the food of Gaza,” and “Our Scriptures say, ‘Woe to you! To eat while others go hungry,’ and ‘Woe to you! For there is famine in Gaza.' “Congress and their staff will not eat today,” the protesters can be heard saying...

Several waves of protesters disrupted President Biden’s grandiose fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall Thursday, where he kicked it with former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton to raise cash and enthusiasm for his 2024 re-election bid. One demonstrator, a woman blowing a whistle, holding a “war pig” sign and warning of “nuclear war with Russia,” was removed from the lavish New York City event, dubbed by the 81-year-old president as a “grassroots fundraiser.” The first interruption was quickly followed by booing and whistling and two other waves of protests related to Biden’s support for Israel’s war against Hamas. “Shame...

President Biden was met with a few dozen anti-Israel protesters standing outside his hotel in Dallas, Texas, Thursday morning, threatening to withhold their votes if he doesn’t change his administration’s policies toward the Gaza Strip. The protesters held signs calling for a cease-fire between Israel and the terror group Hamas — which controls the 3-mile-wide Palestinian territory of Gaza — amid humanitarian concerns over Israel’s planned ground invasion of Rafah. They also held signs saying, “In November, we will remember,” alluding to the protest movement threatening to not vote for Biden in 2024. “If we don’t get no justice, you...

The Post witnessed around 600 migrants massed at the international border, whom Texas National Guard troops were attempting to push back in small groups. The situation grew tense as groups were separated out, and video shows the migrants crying out for help and rushing to the border gate. A group of men with hoodies, gloves and winter jackets pull the fencing away as a group of five guards stand in a defensive formation to fill the gap. Some migrants can be seen putting their hands up in surrender in the video, but seconds later, others scramble through, knocking the guards...

Anti-Israel protesters tried to stop the New York Times from rolling out of its Queens printing facility early Thursday — before 124 were later arrested while shutting down the Gray Lady’s Midtown HQ, sources told The Post. The mob first descended just before 1 a.m. on the 300,000-square-foot printing hub in College Point — which also prints The Post — littering the access road to prevent trucks from collecting newspapers for delivery. The protesters — many masked and wearing traditional Palestinian keffiyeh scarves — laid down, linked together with tubes to create a human chain, blocking one of the largest...

As President Biden makes his way to the US Capitol for the State of the Union Address, a large crowd of pro-Palestine activists are obstructing the motorcade route on Pennysylvania Ave. At present, a large gathering of pro-Palestine protesters has effectively closed off Pennsylvania Avenue just outside the US Capitol. They are seated around a sizable Palestinian flag, actively aiming to impede the motorcade route as President Joe Biden makes his way to the US Capitol for the State of the Union address in Washington, D.C. The demonstrators are calling for a permanent ceasefire.

Mount Holyoke College’s anti-Israel student group posted various pro-violence graphics to social media, referring to themselves as militants and stating that “armed struggle” is the only way to “liberate Palestine.” Last week, the 1837SJP club at the Massachusetts college posted a graphic with five points to its Instagram, one of which called for the destruction of Israel by stating that “Palestine” must be Arab and that “armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine.” The Mount Holyoke SJP group posted a graphic claiming “armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine.” The group claims to be the official...

Times Square is evacuated after a grenade was found in the back of Uber as anti-Israel protestors make their way through New York City preventing NYPD from reaching the device. An Uber driver turned to look in the backseat after dropping a passenger off on 42nd Street and 7th Avenue in Times Square and saw the explosive device. The driver notified the police just after 4 pm and NYPD deployed the Emergency Services Unit and the Bomb Squad to the scene. Anti-Israel protestors were marching through the streets and blocking traffic at the time of the emergency.

Antisemitism took a frightening turn Monday at the University of California, Berkeley, where a pro-Palestinian mob surrounded a campus auditorium, broke a window, and harassed Jewish students trying to enter the building. Israeli lawyer Ran Bar-Yoshafat was invited by a Jewish student group to address the subject of Israel and international law. This included “the rules of wartime conduct and how the [Israel Defense Forces] can better protect civilians,” according to an Instagram post by Students Supporting Israel at Berkeley. But the speech never happened, as besieged Jewish students gathered inside a nearly empty auditorium in Zellerbach Playhouse while some...

New York Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato (D) recently introduced a bill that would designate as domestic terrorism the criminal offense of deliberately blocking “a public road, bridge, transportation facility or tunnel.” The bill also increases the current penalty range from that of a class A misdemeanor (maximum jail time of 364 days) to that of a class D felony (up to seven years in prison). Representatives in Arizona, Tennessee, Minnesota and Washington have introduced similar legislation, targeting protestors by enhancing the offense class and corresponding penalties attached to blocking roadways. If enacted, activists convicted of these offenses could become felons...
