Mounted police officers block the path of anarchist protesters in Haifa, July 11, 2023.

Israel Police reported that as of 10 AM Tuesday, when this story is filed, the following roads are blocked by flag-carrying, “Shame” yelling protesters who probably either live on their pensions or are trust fund babies: highway 4 at the Ogen intersection is closed to traffic in both directions; highway 443 at the Maccabim Reut intersection heading east; highway 2 at the Yanai interchange in both directions; highway 531 at the Sokolov interchange in both directions; highway 4 at the Ra’anana intersection in both directions; and highway 5 at the Morasha interchange.

If you know Israel, these are the 495 Interstate roads of this small country. The only major arteries that are no longer blocked Tuesday morning are Ayalon in Metro Tel Aviv, and Highway 1, connecting Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The cops have focused on those two highways and managed to clear away the protesters.

According to police, so far 24 have been arrested for violating public order, 12 in the Center district, seven in the Jerusalem district, three in the Coast district, and two in the Tel Aviv district.

That’s the entire message for Tuesday: the anarchists will congregate in small but extremely effective groups to paralyze various traffic arteries, turning the lives of hardworking Israelis into a living hell until the cops show up and, unlike their disgusting inaction in previous lawbreaking rallies, this time will show a little muscle.

The day will culminate in Ben Gurion International Airport, where one thousand police officers, many of them mounted, are on hand to prevent the anarchists from barging into the terminals.

And now: more tweets from the centers of the action. Let’s hope no one gets hurt very badly.

Finally, for the sake of a healthy historic proportion, this is what it looks like in Amona in 2006, when our side’s protest was being managed by a left-leaning government. Honk twice if you detect a minor difference.
