BOSTON — A busy Boston road was shut down as demonstrators called for an Israeli ceasefire in Gaza.
Dozens of people were demanding Elizabeth Warren support an immediate ceasefire and use her influence to stop the Israeli government’s ongoing military operations in Gaza.
The BU bridge at Commonwealth Ave was closed for more than two hours. Drivers were forced to seek alternate routes.
As of 10:15 a.m., the protestors moved off the BU Bridge and they are now walking on Memorial Drive in Cambridge.
Boston Police were at the scene of the protest, which was organized by IfNotNow, which said it represented members of the Jewish community in Boston.
This is not the first protest in Boston, on Sunday, a Pro-Palestinian group marched through Boston and Cambridge calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
