Pro-Hamas rioters could not seem to stop themselves from spoiling the holiday celebrations, as several of them got arrested on Wednesday for blocking the morning traffic at Los Angeles International Airport and John F. Kennedy Airport in New York.

Thirty-six rioters were arrested in LAX as some of them barged and pushed authorities to the ground and barricaded the road leading to the airport using road signs, tree branches, and blocks of concrete.

The Los Angeles Police Department criticized the protest and said, “This was not a peaceful demonstration.”

The police force added, “The LAPD’s objective is to ensure public safety for ALL while facilitating the First Amendment rights of those peacefully demonstrating.”

The group also attacked an uninvolved passersby in their vehicle, according to a statement from LAPD.

The unruly protest led to a two-hour traffic in their area.

The demonstration has caused inconvenience to about 215,000 passengers and vehicles.

Looking at the reference from SKYCal, rioters barricaded the road on Century Boulevard, in front of the Sheraton.

Rioters were charged with suspicion of rioting and one was slapped with battery on a police officer.

In New York, activists blocked and displayed banners calling for an end to the Israel-Hamas war and demanding rights for Palestinians. The traffic lasted for about 20 minutes.

Twenty-six people were detained during the protest. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey also offered free rides for travelers affected by the demonstration.

Since the unprovoked attack of Hamas-terrorist last October 7, pro-terrorist groups have been carrying out protests in various cities across the United States.

The death toll in Israel during the attack had reached up to 1,200 individuals, marking the deadliest day in Israel’s history.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams slammed the protest and said, “I don’t believe that people should be able to just take over our streets and march in our streets.”

“I don’t believe people should be able to take over our bridges. I just don’t believe you can run a city this complex where people can just do whatever they want.”

Before these, hundreds of protesters assembled on South Sepulveda Boulevard and 2nd Street and marched to LAX, where they caused inconvenience for hours. They blocked all roads and bridges that lead to the airport.

The same week, the group also blocked the 110 freeway in downtown Los Angeles. This led to a commotion as motorists demanded rioters to leave the road.

They have disrupted Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, as well as, the annual tree lighting ceremony at Rockefeller Center.
