Pro-Hamas protesters were at it again Sunday, trying to make the lives of regular people more difficult, this time by blocking northbound Interstate 5 for over three hours and causing traffic to back up for six miles.
Authorities told people to avoid the area and had to divert traffic onto the eastbound I-90. The demonstrators apparently thought that blocking a highway would cause the White House to change its policies regarding Israel:
Hundreds of demonstrators gathered on the freeway and along overpasses on Denny Way and Olive Way to communicate that “there can’t be any business as usual” as long as American tax dollars are helping fund Israel’s war in Gaza,” said Michael Grant with the Seattle chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace, one of the groups that organized the protest. “We are having to escalate our demands to the heart of Seattle.”
