Pro-Palestinian Protesters Disrupt Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, Glue Themselves to 6th Avenue
2023-11-24
[BREITBART] A cadre of pro-Paleostinian activists disrupted the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade when they covered themselves in fake blood and glued themselves to the middle of 6th Avenue.

"Several protesters — wearing white jumpsuits with protest slogans and already splattered with red — interrupted the floats and balloons just before 11 a.m., forcing the parade to be halted," noted the New York Post.

"They walked 6th Avenue with large signs including ’Liberation for Paleostine and Planet,’ a message they also chanted," it added. "Several then pretended to be dead on the ground as others walked around pouring fake blood over them and the road — with their chants met by loud boos from spectators."

Fox News noted that some activists were heard saying, "There is only one solution, intifada revolution."

Some of the activists were heard yelling the anti-Israel chant, "From the river to the sea, Paleostine will be free!" The chant generally means support for the destruction of Israel. Some had messages like "militarism," "racism," and "ethnic cleansing" emblazoned over their jumpsuits. When an officer approached to move them, a protester said, "I’m glued down, I can’t get up ... We need a ceasefire."

"The Paleostinians deserve the right to return to their ancestral land," the activist could be heard saying.

Another activist even included some climate change messaging, "There’s an ongoing genocide, and our planet is dying."

#20  They should have just left them there and detoured the parade one street.

Why detour? (I know that is borderline on the Rantburg rules - but I am so tired of this sh...)

#16  Seems like the cops were lined up to protect the protesters from the parade audience.

#15  #9 "These 'people'" think of nothing but expressing their feelings - because their feelings ARE important.

#14  #3 You don't have to go back 3000 years. There were thousands of Western visitors to Holy Land in 19th century (including Mark Twain). They all agree on one thing. Traveling between the port cities (Jaffa & Acre) and Jerusalem you see no settlements, you meet no people.
At the end of 19th century, Jews started settling and developing the land - incidentally, not taking anything but buying it from absentee Arab landlords .
Once Jews developed the land, Arab immigration (aided and abetted by the Perfidious Albion) started - just like Muslim emigration to the Western countries today: they do love other People's property.

#13  why non lethal? It's time to start culling some of the shit from the normal people.

#11  Douse them with water. Non-lethal and no immediate effects. Autumn being what it is in NY will gradually have an effect. Let their comrades - double meaning here - free them from the racist, mis-gendering and colonial clutches of hypothermia.

#10  How is fixation on some imaginary past that never happened "progressive?"

#9  Granted that these people think of nothing but themselves and their own superiority over the unwashed masses.

But if you want to win people to your cause, you don't do it by disrupting one of the more enjoyable events of the year that millions and millions of people want to watch.

#7  ^ The Mayans* had a writing system they used from around 300 BC up until the Spanish showed up

* The Meso-American civilization, not the motorcycle gang.

#6  If you dig down to the 1000 AD line in the Americas you won't find any writing, tablets, or parchments with English or Spanish.

Likely some Viking.

#3  "The Paleostinians deserve the right to return to their ancestral land*,"

If you dig down to the 1000 AD line in the Americas you won't find any writing, tablets, or parchments with English or Spanish. If you dig in that part of world to the 500 BC line, you will find stuff with Hebrew on it. Just who's ancestral land?

* meanwhile Prussian Germans are unlikely to be able to return their lands they were ethnically cleansed of back in 1945. War has consequences.

#2  I'm thinking after the gentle ministrations of New York' Finest, some of them won't be using the expression "It's no skin off my ass" for a while.
