Protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza shut down the westbound lanes 
of the Bay Bridge just east of Treasure Island on Thursday morning, 
resulting in multiple arrests and a hourslong traffic jam, the California 
Highway Patrol said. 

About 50 people were arrested and 15 vehicles were towed, according to CHP 
Chief Ezery Beauchamp. Some people abandoned their cars and tossed their 
keys off the bridge, Beauchamp said.

“What these protesters have done is unacceptable,” Beauchamp told 
reporters. “Again, you can protest. You have your First Amendment rights. 
Don’t do it here on the bridge.”

Westbound lanes were reopened just after noon. 

The demonstration unfolded shortly before 8 a.m. when protesters stopped 
their cars and chained their arms together inside of tubes to make 
removing them more difficult. Demonstrators rallied with bullhorns, 
chanting slogans and waving large signs reading “stop genocide” and “no 
U.S. military aid to Israel.” Some protesters were lying down on the 
bridge, covered in white sheets, pretending to be dead.

Pro-Palestinian protesters claimed responsibility for the shutdown in a 
post on Instagram, saying they were sending a message to President Joe 
Biden to demand a cease-fire in Gaza. 

“We are demanding a cease-fire, and I do think we got that message 
across,” a demonstrator told KTVU. “We are so sorry to inconvenience 
folks. … We cannot let Biden and (Vice President Kamala) Harris be in town 
with it being business as usual and not being clear that 80% of the people 
who voted for Biden and Harris believe in a cease-fire.”

Those people should be exected and their bodies tossed over the side of 
the bridge.
