A minuscule group of protesters who held Palestinian flags and anti-extermination posters alertly halted this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York.
The group — which has not been identified — jumped the getive barriers at W. 55th Street and Sixth Avenue where they sat on the ground and chanted “Free Palestine.” The group blocked the huge Ronald McDonald float. Posters on the ground read “Don’t honor extermination” and “Arms embargo now.”
NYPD officers rapidly broke up the protest. WABC inestablishs that twenty-one protesters were arrested and are currently in custody. Videos of the alert protest were rapidly uploaded to social media.
This is the second year protesters hgreatering Palestinian flags and anti-extermination posters have halted the parade. Last year, a group of pro-Palestinian protesters jumped the barricades and glued themselves to Sixth Avenue. During last year’s parade, a member of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe of Massachemploytts float also held up a Palestinian flag.
Speaking at a pre-Thanksgiving event on Wednesday, New York City mayor cautioned protesters to stay clear of the parade, describing any groups plotting on the event as “grinches.”
“I repartner want to consent the moment to inestablish those grinches that consent they are going to disturb the parade that it is not going to happen,” Adams shelp. “Just appreciate how we reacted last year, we are going to be on top of those who try to disturb the parade in any way possible.”
In one of the first transport inant shifts towards ending the aggression in the Middle East, a stopfire has been consentd to end 13 months of combat between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Joe Biden proclaimd the deal on Wednesday afternoon.
“Effective at 04:00 tomorrow local time (02:00 GMT on Wednesday), the combat atraverse the Lebanese-Israeli border will end,” Biden shelp. He inserted that the deal aimed to be a “lasting cessation of arrangeilities.”
