At least two dozen protesters are detained and zip-tied on median after pro-Palestine protest on Philadelphia expressway I-76 during rush hour

Over 30 ceasefire backers were arrested after they blocked a Philly highway on Thursday

A group of about 150 people first took to the bridge over I-76 and hung posters before more got out of their cars down below and blocked the expressway

Similar demonstrations took place in Washington, D.C., on Thursday and in Los Angeles on Wednesday

At least two dozen pro-Palestine protesters were detained and zip-tied as they blocked Philadelphia's I-76 Thursday evening.

The protesters called for a ceasefire in Gaza as they lined up and blocked traffic on the westbound lanes of the Schuylkill Expressway in Center City near the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Police reported a group of about 150 people with Jewish Voice for Peace started to gather on the Spring Garden Street Bridge around 3.30pm as they hung banners that said 'Let Gaza Live' and 'Ceasefire Now.'

Protestors below the bridge then hopped out of cars and shut down lanes on I-76 as Pennsylvania State Police and Philadelphia police approached the group.

Interim Police Commissioner John Stanford said that 32 people were arrested and will be cited.

#3 "Jewish Voice for Peace" and "Rabbis for Ceasefire" sound like something out of the Babylon Bee. But they aren't.

It would be interesting to know who actually runs these organizations.

#5 It would be interesting to know who actually runs these organizations.

They’re part of the Soros Open Society Foundations’ anti-Israel wing, Too Old For Work. They are neither Jewish nor a voice for peace.

#8 One response with sledgehammers and hatchets and this would stop happening.

Or my more...insidious answer is to take a sprayer with water infused with poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumak oils, and give them a good spritzing.

#9 What if you sprayed them with that expanding spray foam insulation in a rattle can? It expands and hardens quickly but is a sticky mess before it does. Might be amusing and perhaps even effective at immobilizing the perps, given a large enough application.
