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...

Pro-Palestine protesters in Chicago are stopping traffic to O'Hare Airport, making travelers walk to catch their flights

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...

Harvard University employed around-the-clock security guards to monitor and protect an anti-Israel wall created by pro-Palestine students. The “apartheid wall” features various artwork and quotes showing their support for Palestine and their distaste for Israel. One of the quotes is from the leader of a U.S.-designated terrorist organization. Another is from the former spokesperson for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Ghassan Kanafani— which is a communist Palestinian terrorist organization infamous for hijacking aircraft and mass murder. “The Palestinian cause is not a cause for Palestinians only, but a cause for every revolutionary wherever he is, as a...

German police arrested several Hamas terrorists in the country following Israeli intelligence tip; the interrogations led investigators to a warehouse in southern Bulgaria housing stocks of weapons and ammo. The Bulgarian police uncovered a hidden weapons cache Thursday that, according to suspicions, is linked to four terrorists who were arrested in Germany and the Netherlands before Christmas. The four Hamas members, all Lebanese nationals, are suspected of planning to carry out attacks against Israeli individuals and institutions in Europe under instructions from a terror group in Lebanon. Police believe one of the terrorists came to Europe in order to locate...

The Iron Dome missile-defense system intercepted at least two projectiles heading for Netivot. Palestinian terrorists fired a barrage of rockets towards the southern Israeli city of Netivot from Gaza on Thursday night, sending over 40,000 people running for shelter for the first time in nearly three months. The Iron Dome missile-defense system intercepted at least two projectiles heading for the city, local reports said. The last time air-raid sirens sounded in Netivot, located about eight miles from the Strip, was on January 16. The Magen David Adom emergency medical service said there were no reports of serious injuries in the...

The Hamas terrorists behind the Oct. 7, 2023, jihadist raid literally view their female Israeli captives as horses and other animals — to be “ridden.” ... Sex slavery is not only an ironclad aspect of Islam; it is a reflection of “piety,” ... In the moments before he raped the 12-year-old [non-Muslim] girl, the Islamic State fighter took the time to explain that what he was about to do was not a sin. Because the preteen girl practiced a religion other than Islam, the Quran not only gave him the right to rape her — it condoned and encouraged it,...

Do you recall that supposedly autonomous "CHOP" zone (originally "CHAZ) that was set up in Seattle at the height of the BLM riots? That turned out to be an unmitigated disaster in many ways. Unfortunately, when the socialists come up with a bad idea that appears to work, even for a little while, others take notice and begin to imitate them. That appears to be what's happening in Zuccotti Park in New York City this week. But instead of Black Lives Matter activists, this one is being organized by a curious combination of pro-Hamas antisemites and transgender activists. The usual...

Pathetic very disrespectful Watch Pro-Palestinian protesters disrupt Easter service at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York

The liberal actor declared, 'In all honesty, I have educated myself so much since 2016' --------------------------------------------- Comedian and pro-Israel advocate Michael Rapaport shredded what the modern Democratic Party has become and explained why he is increasingly considering voting for Trump in a new interview. As part of a series about the Israel-Hamas conflict that rages in the Middle East, an interviewer from Visegrad24 spoke to Rapaport on the shores of an Israeli beach and asked, "Have your political views shifted? You’ve been a very vocal anti-Trump - probably the most vocal anti-Trump celebrity out there. Have your views shifted? I...

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...

Our nation can hardly be said to have a southern border at all anymore. Even if the border were magically to reappear tomorrow, millions of people are already in the country without anyone knowing who or what they are. One hundred sixty-nine people on the FBI’s terror watch list were caught at the border in 2023; nobody knows how many people on that watch list got across the nonexistent border without being caught.Four jihadis just murdered at least 137 people in Moscow. They held the same beliefs as the Hamas jihadis who murdered 1,200 people in Israel on Oct. 7....

The title neatly summarizes the content of this video taken from Russia 1 state media. Commentator Vladimir Solovyov admitted that there were only three unarmed guards present at the concert at the Crocus City Hall. Which explains why the terrorists were not confronted on scene by armed police. Commentator Vladimir Solovyov is clearly agitating for war against NATO and the United States. Commentator Margarita Simonyan claims that the West refers to the Russians as "pig faced".

“ In addition, some pro-🇺🇦 "experts" deliberately showed their audience a wrong settlement on the map. If you look at the map they were apprehended near the settlement Teploe (Тёплое), NOT Teply (Тёплый), which is the one by the Belarusian border. It is about 380th km. of Kyevsky highway. From the place where the chase began there was a direct road only to Ukraine, and they had already passed the turn to Bryansk, and subsequently to Gomel, Belarus at that time. The pro-🇺🇦 sources deliberately misdirected Western audiences, since the settlement names are very similar in name, but different enough...

An illegal immigrant caught trespassing into the United States through the southern border, revealed he was here to “make a bomb.” Federal court documents revealed that a member of the terrorist group Hezbollah told law enforcement agents that he was planning to make a bomb in the U.S. after illegally entering the country through the Texas border. According to a March 19 federal court document, Basel Bassel Ebbadi spent many years training with the Hizballah terrorist group and, focusing on "jihad" and “was taught to kill people who were not Muslim.” In a criminal complaint, Border Patrol agent Jose Benitez-Medina...

At least 40 people were killed and more than 100 injured when five gunmen dressed in camouflage opened fire with automatic weapons at people at a concert in the Crocus City Hall near Moscow, in one of the worst such attacks on Russia in years. Flames leapt into the sky and plumes of black smoke rose above the venue, Reuters pictures and video showed. Russian media reported a second blast at the venue and there were reports that some of the gunmen had barricaded themselves somewhere in the building. ... It was not immediately clear who the gunmen were. ...

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...

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...
