Queers for Palestine group block entrance of Walt Disney World
|
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A Queers for Palestine chapter created a human barricade to the entrance of Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, prompting a bystander to lose his cool.
On Saturday, the Central Florida branch of Queers for Palestine pulled their cars in a blockade on Interstate 4, claiming that Disney supported genocide.
An angry driver became so irate that he got out of the car to yell at the demonstrators, three of whom were arrested 11 minutes later by Florida cops.
'You are losing people to your cause because of this... Think a little bit. You are causing people to actually hate you,' the driver yelled at them.
The protestors responded: 'Go f**k yourself. 45,000 people dead.'
In a video circulating on X, formerly Twitter, police reinforcements showed up to the protest.
One of the activist jumps into the car to leave. They keep recording, streaming the event on Instagram Live, as they start to drive off.
The pro-Palestine demonstrators were arrested by Florida Highway patrol within 11 minutes of them starting the protest.
Three members of the Queers for Palestine group were arrested, per the group's Instagram story. A QR code to their bail fund has been published.
In a series of Instagram stories posted by the central Florida Queers for Palestine branch, they claim that Disney has not only 'publicly pledged support and alliance toward Israel following October 7,' they also '[have] not acknowledged the loss of Palestinian lives in the ongoing genocide.'
The group also states the reason behind their boycott involves Disney's choice to reintroduce an Israeli character during such a polarizing political climate.
'Disney has announced that a character called 'Sabra,' an Israeli superhero, will be featured in Marvel films,' the Instagram story read.
'In a 1981 comic, Sabra shows little remorse for the death of a Palestinian child.'
The group claims Disney has pledged $2 million to Israeli relief efforts following October 7th, and that calls for more boycotts are in order.
Per their story, Disney is on the BDS list, or the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions list that dictates what to boycott or what companies to support or not support. The group instructed its members what they can do to boycott Disney.
'Cancel your Disney+ subscription and Hulu memberships, boycott Disney products (including Marvel), and show up for Palestine,' the Instagram story read.
