Pro-Hamas mob blocks Chicago highway to O’Hare airport ahead of Christmas Eve

December 24, 2023 | | Print Article

Diaper-dumping leftists won’t be happy until they make everyone’s Christmas as miserable as they are with the latest example being the move by a pro-Hamas mob to inconvenience travelers at one of the nation’s busiest airports.

In a temper tantrum over Israel’s anti-terrorist operation in Gaza that isn’t likely to win many converts to their cause, activists closed down traffic on the freeway leading to Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport on Saturday, showing no respect for innocent travelers who may have had their holiday travel plans spoiled by the spiteful mutants.

A car caravan reported to be comprised of around 100 vehicles that was led by a group calling itself the “U.S. Palestinian Community Network” first visited the neighborhoods of Democrat lawmakers before making its way toward O’Hare where it snarled traffic at I-190 and Manheim Road, according to Fox 32 Chicago.

“The caravan’s first stop was at Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky’s home in Evanston, according to the group’s Instagram page,” the outlet reported. “Protesters then went to U.S. Senator Dick Durbin’s home in Chicago, shouting chants of “‘Long live Palestine!'”

“For the third stop, the caravan went toward O’Hare International Airport and disrupted traffic on I-190 and Manheim Road. Both sides of the roadway were temporarily shut down and traffic was at a standstill,” Fox 32 reported. “As of around 5 p.m., traffic started to move again and the closures started to be lifted.”

The attack on a key component of the nation’s air transportation system drew the condemnation of X users, some of whom wondered why such actions are never met with an appropriate law enforcement response which will likely continue to be the case when they take place in areas controlled by Democratic party political apparatchiks.

Other reactions to what will likely be a self-defeating action that will only make normal folks hate Hamas more.

In a post to its Facebook page from earlier this month, the group boasted about shutting down traffic to O’Hare earlier this month.

“The Chicago Coalition for Justice in Palestine mobilized a 250-car caravan yesterday disrupting the Kennedy, Eisenhower, and Stevenson expressways, making all highways in the Chicagoland area nearly stand still!” the post read.

“We will no longer allow for the city to continue its business as usual while a genocide in #Gaza is happening – especially not when we have Zionist politicians like U.S. Representative Jan Schakowsky claiming to be progressive while supporting the murder of Palestinians. End the siege on Gaza and #FreePalestine, from the river to the sea!” the group said, using the controversial phrase that many believe is a call for the eradication of the Jewish state and its people.

“According to the Chicago Department of Aviation, 3.4 million passengers are expected to pass through both Chicago airports through Jan. 2, with Midway’s busiest day expected to be the day after Christmas. At O’Hare, the busiest day was Wednesday, the CDA said,”  NBC Chicago reported.
