Pro-Palestinian Protesters Disrupt Macy's Parade Again

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City was briefly disrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters, resulting in 21 arrests. Demonstrators carried banners reading 'Don't Celebrate Genocide' and 'Free Palestine' as they blocked the route amid ongoing tensions related to the Israel-Hamas conflict. Despite the protest and rainy conditions, the parade continued with its lineup of giant balloons, floats, and performances by celebrities like Jennifer Hudson and Idina Menzel. This marks the second consecutive year of similar protests at the parade. The event, celebrating its 98th year, featured new balloons and floats, alongside traditional elements such as marching bands and a Santa Claus finale. The parade was broadcast on NBC, with a Spanish simulcast on Telemundo, providing festive entertainment despite the disruptions.
