On Saturday, the Queers for Palestine branch in Central Florida blocked Interstate 4 with its cars, claiming that Disney supported genocide.
One angry driver got so angry he got out of the car to yell at protesters.
‘You are losing people to your cause because of this… Think for a bit. “You are making people hate you,” the driver yelled at them.
The protesters responded: ‘Fuck you.’ 45,000 people dead.’

In a series of Instagram stories posted by Queers for Palestine’s Florida headquarters, they claim that Disney has not only “publicly pledged support and alliance toward Israel after October 7,” but also “failed to acknowledge the loss of Palestinian lives in the ongoing genocide.’
The group also claims that the reason behind their boycott has to do with Disney’s decision to reintroduce an Israeli character during such a polarized political climate.
“Disney has announced that a character named ‘Sabra,’ an Israeli superhero, will appear in the Marvel movies,” the Instagram story read.
‘In a 1981 comic, Sabra shows little remorse for the death of a Palestinian boy.’

According to its history, Disney is on the BDS list, or Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions list that dictates what to boycott or what companies to support or not. The group instructed its members on what they can do to boycott Disney.
“Cancel your Disney+ subscription and Hulu membership, boycott Disney products (including Marvel), and show up in Palestine,” the Instagram story read.
