In Seattle, a major disruption unfolded as activist groups with alleged ties to Palestinian terrorists and organizations funded by liberal donors, including George Soros, blocked Interstate 5. The blockade, orchestrated by groups including Sadun Seattle and Jewish Voice for Peace, lasted over four hours, causing a significant six-mile traffic jam. Despite the chaos, no arrests were made by Seattle Police. The protest aimed to demand an immediate ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza conflict, suspension of American aid to Israel, and freedom for Palestinian prisoners. Critics argue that such actions, while claiming to champion human rights, ironically infringe upon the rights of local residents by massively disrupting daily life. This incident reflects a growing trend of protest movements leveraging major public spaces to draw attention, often leading to a clash between freedom of expression and public order.
