Pro-Palestine Protesters Block Gardiner Expressway Over Hamas Attack

Just recently, pro-Palestine protesters blocked the highway that runs through downtown Toronto, the Gardiner Expressway, for a protest regarding the attack by the terrorist group in Israel called Hamas towards the country Palestine.

A lot of people have been posting online making posts and in comment sections "Free Palestine" trying to bring awareness to their cause.
The United Nations and other organizations are starting fundraisers to help Palestine citizens after more than 30 children went missing.
Yet the pro-religious Jewish group decided to protest in Downtown Toronto by the busiest part of the Gardiner Expressway for approximately 4 to 5 minutes chanting "Free Palestine" and other statements, scattering capital letters that read "FREE PALESTINE" and the Palestine flag, and their cars blocking the entire highway.

The Gardiner Expressway is the only highway that runs through Downtown Toronto, and the only highways that connects the northern part of Toronto is via Hwy 427 and Don Valley Parkway, and the main road that directly connects downtown is Yonge Street.

While it is a right for people to protest for whatever cause, trying to interfere with other people is not a good move.
The Jewish protesters could protest in a local part or a public space such as Nathan Phillips Square or near City Hall while giving out pamphlets to promote their protest and get supporters in a well-mannered way.
The last time a problematic protest happened was Black Lives Matter, where people were vandalizing downtown.
Hopefully the Israel-Palestine war situation gets dealt with.
