Florida police arrested three anti-Israel agitators on Saturday afternoon after they blocked traffic on Interstate 4 near Walt Disney World. FOX 35 in Orlando reported that troopers with the Florida Highway Patrol responded to the scene and found three women holding 'Free Palestine' signs while blocking traffic in the westbound lanes of Interstate 4 at Exit 67.
Video obtained by the station shows the trio of women, all wearing facial coverings, and holding pro-Palestinian banners in the middle of the westbound ramp lanes near Disney Springs. One of the banners read, 'Free Palestine' and had a Mickey Mouse emblem between the two words. The second banner read, 'Lookup NAKBA 1948.' The protesters also shouted, 'Free Palestine,' and other chants as drivers became agitated by the situation and started honking their horns and driving through the grass to get around the women.
Orlando Police said two people were arrested earlier in the day on Saturday at a demonstration at Lake Eola Park. Both of the individuals face charges related to battery on a law enforcement officer, the station reported. There were about 1,200 people at the Lake Eola Park protest, where officers used a chemical agent to disperse a disruptive bunch in the crowd.
While most demonstrated peacefully, we did make 2 arrests,' the Orlando Police Department wrote in a press release. '
