Anti-Israel Protesters Attempt To Block Access To Major Airport, Behave Like Absolute Idiots

Anti-Israel protesters are attempting to stop people from accessing Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.

A significant group of anti-Israel/pro-Gaza people is blocking the access road to Terminal One at the massive airport, according to ABC 7 Chicago.

The blocking of traffic has forced people to bail from their cars and try to reach the terminal on foot.

Video from the scene shows people with all their luggage making the trek on foot because of the idiots in the street.

This is unacceptable conduct from the anti-Israel group

This is America. People have the right to have any opinion they want, they're free to criticize any group or government they want and that's the way it is with freedom of speech and expression. People have the right to be wrong, and that's a right that should be protected at all costs.

However, nobody has the right to encroach on the lives of others and break the law. Nobody has the right to get in the street and bring traffic to a grinding halt.

I don't care what liberal social media influencers say. I don't care what poorly educated young people say. The law is the law, and there's no legal protection for people to block access to an airport or block a road, which is also happening in California by similar groups at the Golden State Bridge.

Also, I have no problem calling those who block traffic idiots. Do you think the war in Gaza is going to end because a street in Illinois was shut down? You know what could end the war - which Hamas started with a massive terrorist attack - right now? Hamas surrendering. How come none of these anti-Israel groups ever demand that? Very interesting.

Furthermore, Israel got attacked by Iran over the weekend. What kind of person takes to the streets to protest an American ally days after it was bombed by one of our worst enemies? It's incredibly low-IQ behavior from everyone involved.

Let's hope the police can get the road open so people can get on with their travel. Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
