Anti-Israel Protesters Block Disney World Exit, Arrested
A group of anti-Israel protesters from Queers for Palestine were arrested on Saturday after blocking the exit of Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
The protesters, who were wearing keffiyeh and holding banners, chanted “Free Palestine” and accused Disney of “supporting genocide.”
Some drivers were forced to use the highway’s shoulder to go around the protesters, and one angry motorist confronted them, saying “You are causing people to actually hate you.”
The protester verbally attacked him, calling him a “genocide sympathizer.”
The protesters claimed that Disney supports Israel without acknowledging the loss of Palestinian lives in the ongoing genocide.
The group has been calling for a boycott of Disney and has shared multiple Instagram stories to that effect.
A Fox News reporter shared on Twitter that police arrived 11 minutes later and arrested the protesters.
“The “Queers For Palestine” protesters who blocked the highway exit to Disney World in Orlando, FL, have been arrested by Florida Highway Patrol. I’m told they were arrested within 11 minutes,” reporter Bill Melugin wrote.
“Florida continues w/ zero tolerance for blocking traffic.”
