 San Francisco police began arresting protesters calling for a ceasefire in the Israel Hamas War on November 16 after demonstrations blocked the Bay Bridge, a key commuter route into the city which is hosting the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum. Organizers said 200 people attended the demonstration, which also called for an end to US military aid to Israel. Hundreds of police began to make arrests and lead protesters away in zip ties, after the California Highway Patrol issued a dispersal order to the assembled group. Authorities also deployed tow trucks to remove protesters' vehicles blocking the Bridge local emergency services warned of the blockage during morning rush hour on the Bridge which links Oakland and other East Bay cities to San Francisco. Several groups participated in the demonstration, including the Palestinian Youth Movement and Bay Area Palestine Solidarity, according to a press release. The two groups did not immediately respond to requests for comment. I think what's happening to the people in Gaza is so horrific that nothing that happens to us here, nothing that we experience is even worth complaining about.
