A video that has gone viral today shows Antifa and Pro-Palestinian protesters joining forces to block a California Highway Patrol car in Los Angeles at an anti-Israel protest.
In the video, a woman holds an Antifa flag as two others stand in front of the police car. The officer can be heard directing the protesters to “get out of the road” and “get out of the way.”
The car continues to move forward as the two protesters backpedal before eventually being tossed aside as the car picks up speed.
Other protesters then chase after the car as other police officers attempt to corral them.

The Los Angeles Daily News reported on the protest in a manner that we would say appeared supportive of the protesters.
Their article was titled, “Hundreds in Los Angeles march in solidarity with Palestine amid airstrikes and displacement.”
They describe several hundred people took to the streets in the Westwood area Saturday to demonstrate in support of Palestinians amid the ongoing violence between Israel and Hamas in Gaza as well as the forced displacement of Palestinians living in the Sheikh Jarrah of Jerusalem.
The demonstration reportedly was dubbed “Nakba 73: Resistance Until Liberation” and took place at the Federal Building, where they disrupted traffic.
Another video from “Justice” shows police attempting to clear the streets.

The protest was reportedly organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement and it was one of several events scheduled around the United States today.
