Pro-Palestinian JFK protests: Letters to the Editor — Jan. 3, 2024

The Issue: The protest at JFK airport where pro-Palestinian demonstrators blocked traffic.

A caravan of pro-Palestinian protesters in cars stopped people on the Belt Parkway trying to make their way to JFK airport (“Air traffic jam,” Dec. 2).

I thought that it was a crime to stop traffic in this manner, akin to that of all the other unlawful protests throughout the city — disrupting holiday events, blocking streets, defacing public property and assaulting police officers.

These protests are hotbeds for such crimes and thus should be halted immediately.Mayor Adams and Gov. Hochul should allow the NYPD to arrest everyone involved and put an end to these protests once and for all.
