No more business as usual," the organization leading the protest said on social media.

Dozens of Jewish protesters and their allies were arrested on Wednesday morning after they blocked rush hour traffic on a busy Los Angeles highway to demand a ceasefire in Israel’s war on Palestinians in Gaza.

    I don’t disagree that the conflict has to stop, but I don’t see how anyone can force a ceasefire between two separate independent countries. What action do they think the US can take to force this situation? No matter what you offer or withhold it’s still ultimately up to the individual parties involved.

      True, though the US is one of the biggest suppliers, if not the biggest, for Israel’s military.

      America only cares about money. This shit costs them HUGE money.

      This is exactly how you stop the war by shutting down infrastructure.

        Ok, but this war is between Israel and Hamas, what can America do about it other than what they’ve always done and bomb the shit out of both sides?
        It’s like protesting in Toronto because they don’t like a new policy in Tokyo.
