Um, in addition to the company backing Israel without \u201cacknowledging the loss of Palestinian lives,\u201d there\u2019s also an Israeli superhero in an upcoming film from Disney\u2019s Marvel division, \u201cCaptain America: Brave New World,\u201d according to the group.<\/p>\n<p>Wait until they think about that title for a minute and realize one of the superheroes in the film <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/highly-anticipated-captain-america-game-trouble-former-world-warcraft-developer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">is American<\/a>, too! Boy, they\u2019ll really be angry then.<\/p>\n<p>While standing in the highway blocking traffic, the protesters chanted \u201cFree free Palestine\u201d and held a banner that read \u201cFree Palestine.\u201d No word on whether they asked the Palestinians to free the \u201cqueers\u201d who presumably don\u2019t have any rights in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, but consistency is the least of their concerns, one assumes.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thestustustudio\/status\/1789437254173114554\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video clip<\/a> posted to social media showed one fed-up motorist confronting the protesters, saying they were \u201closing people to your cause because of this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThink a little bit. You are causing people to actually hate you,\u201d he yelled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGo f*** yourself, 45,000 people dead,\u201d the protester responded.<\/p>\n<p>As the Post noted, the Gaza Health Ministry \u2014 which is controlled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-quietly-apologized-muslims-doubting-hamas-claim-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">by Hamas<\/a> \u2014 claims that roughly 35,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in their response to the Oct. 7 terrorist attack by Hamas and its allies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not the way, do you understand that? Think a little bit!\u201d the man said.<\/p>\n<p>Alas, they were not given much time to think about it.<\/p>\n<p>According to Fox News\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-prepared-veto-bill-build-border-wall-restrict-migrant-asylum-crisis-looms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bill Melugin<\/a>, the Florida Highway Patrol \u2014 which has backed up the state\u2019s zero-tolerance policy for highway-blocking as a form of protest \u2014 was able to arrest and clear the protesters \u201cwithin 11 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">NEW: The \u201cQueers For Palestine\u201d protesters who blocked the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/14-cows-killed-others-survive-truck-rollover-crash-in-connecticut\/\" title=\"14 cows died in a truck rollover crash in Connecticut, while others survived.\">highway exit<\/a> to Disney World in Orlando, FL, have been arrested by Florida Highway Patrol.

Ron DeSantis touted \u201cFlorida\u2019s success maintaining law and order\u201d during a news conference Wednesday in Gainesville, home of the University of Florida.<\/p>\n<p>During the briefing, he said \u201cpro-Hamas protests\u201d on college campuses wouldn\u2019t be tolerated.
