Protesters from the group Queers for Palestine blocked traffic exiting a major highway near Disney World in Orlando, Florida to draw attention to their cause of a “Free Palestine.”
They held banners criticizing Disney’s alleged support for Israel and yelled slogans against Israeli violence.
“Free, free, free Palestine!” the protesters yelled.

“No more money for Israel’s crimes!”
Some drivers confronted the demonstrators angrily, telling them they were hurting their message.
Police arrived and arrested three protesters after 11 minutes, as Florida has a no-tolerance policy for blocking roads.
“Florida continues w/ zero tolerance for blocking traffic,” Fox News’s Bill Melugin wrote.
The demonstration came amid renewed conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
