‘Blood,’ glue and boos as protesters block Thanksgiving Parade

BY THE VILLAGE SUN | About an hour and a half into Thursday’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, a group of pro-Palestinian protesters jumped in between the giant cartoon balloons and promptly glued their hands to Sixth Avenue.

Fellow demonstrators doused them with a red liquid, as other comrades of theirs toted a banner reading, “Liberation for Palestine and Planet.”

The anti-Israel group wore white jumpsuits sporting slogans on their chests and backs like “Racism,” “Consumerism,” “Militarism,” “Fascism,” “Colonialism,” “Imperialism” and “Ethnic Cleansing.”

Meanwhile, parade spectators angrily booed them for holding up the time-honored holiday tradition.

For their civil disobedience in blocking the parade, some of the protesters were arrested by police.

A four-day humanitarian pause in the war between Hamas and Gaza has started. Hamas has released some of the hostages it captured on 10/7 and Israel, in return, has released a number of Palestinian prisoners. None of the American hostages kidnaped on 10/7 have been let go yet.
