Group of Protesters Call for a ceasefire The war between Israel and Hamas On Tuesday, protesters calling for an end to U.S. military aid to Israel took to the southbound 405 Freeway in West Los Angeles, blocking traffic and causing traffic jams stretching for miles late in the morning rush hour.
Protesters, organized in part by the Los Angeles group “IfNotNow,” walked onto the freeway near Venice Boulevard around 9 a.m., immediately causing a traffic jam south of the 10 Freeway.

“American Jews and their allies have shut down the 405 Freeway in West Los Angeles in protest of U.S. support for Israel’s attack on Gaza,” a statement from organizers said. “With one week until the Democratic National Convention, protesters are united in their three demands of all elected officials: call for a permanent ceasefire, reject the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, and enact an arms embargo.”
IfNotNow’s “American Jews” have a history of supporting terrorism, including reciting Kaddish, a Jewish prayer for the dead, for the Palestinians, most of whom were members of Hamas, killed by Israeli soldiers while trying to cross the Gaza Strip border into Israel in 2018. They also support radical anti-Israel politicians like Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who is also supported by Gov. Tim Walz, Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate.
If not now Claimed On social media they promoted themselves as observing Tisha Bau, the Jewish day of mourning for the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, but in reality they were siding with the terrorists who are seeking to destroy Israel today.
Nine people were reportedly arrested after the protest as the California Highway Patrol arrived to clear the roads.
