Legal Insurrection wrote about our case, Faoro v. Jewish Voice for Peace Inc. et al. We are suing organizations and individuals who engaged in illegal traffic blockades in Washington, D.C.
Some of the individuals who blocked traffic chained themselves together in the middle of highways to blockade traffic, and others used PVC piping attached over their arms to form human chains to further block roads.
Many of the individuals held signs that said, “Free Palestine” or “From the River to the Sea, Palestine Must be Free”, and chanted slogans including ”Free Free Palestine”, “The Occupation Has Got to Go”, “We Don’t Want No Jewish State”, and “If We Don’t Get It, Shut It Down!”
The press release also includes a statement from HLLI President Anna St. John:
Unlawful traffic blockades that trap innocent citizens in their cars are not a form of protest-they are acts of aggression. We are determined to hold accountable those who use intimidation and obstruction to push their agenda, and we will fight to protect the rights of Americans who were unjustly targeted by these disruptive, antisemitic actions.
We reached out to HLLI to see if they had anything to add and Ms. St. John stated simply: “These unlawful traffic blockades were deliberate, coordinated efforts to create chaos. The individuals and organizations behind them must be held accountable for their actions.”
