Queers for Palestine group block entrance of Walt Disney World in Orlando, prompting foul-mouthed argument with driver who claims their behavior is costing them support

A Queers for Palestine chapter created a human barricade to the entrance of Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, prompting a bystander to lose his cool.

On Saturday, the Central Florida branch of Queers for Palestine pulled their cars in a blockade on Interstate 4, claiming that Disney supported genocide.

An angry driver became so irate that he got out of the car to yell at the demonstrators, three of whom were arrested 11 minutes later by Florida cops.

'You are losing people to your cause because of this... Think a little bit. You are causing people to actually hate you,' the driver yelled at them.

The protestors responded: 'Go f**k yourself. 45,000 people dead.'

The group also states the reason behind their boycott involves Disney's choice to reintroduce an Israeli character during such a polarizing political climate.

'Disney has announced that a character called 'Sabra,' an Israeli superhero, will be featured in Marvel films,' the Instagram story read.

'In a 1981 comic, Sabra shows little remorse for the death of a Palestinian child.'

Per their story, Disney is on the BDS list, or the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions list that dictates what to boycott or what companies to support or not support. The group instructed its members what they can do to boycott Disney.

'Cancel your Disney+ subscription and Hulu memberships, boycott Disney products (including Marvel), and show up for Palestine,' the Instagram story read.
