Pro-Palestinian protesters are marching through New York City on New Years Eve after Mayor Eric Adams said he had the NYPD prepared to step up security ahead of celebrations in Times Square.
Groups had expressed intentions to protest in Times Square against Israel's military campaign in the Gaza Strip having already disrupted the Thanksgiving Day Parade and lighting of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree.
At Macy's in Herald Square, at least one demonstrator set off a bright red smoke bomb and were allowed to take a lap around the famous department store before being escorted out.
At least one group was spotted marching from 59th Street all the way down to 45th and 5th Avenue, just a block away from where the ball will drop at midnight.
The marchers were singing the infamous 'from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' chant that has been decried as anti-Semitic by members of both parties in Congress, as well as the Anti-Defamation League.
The protesters - suggested to be as many as 3,000 by one reporter were also re-iterating the left-wing calls for a cease-fire in Gaza.
Multiple protesters targeted Bronx Democrat Rep. Ritchie Torres, an ardent pro-Israel Congressman.
'Ritchie Torres: blood on your hands! Stop funding genocide!' and 'Money for the Bronx, not for war' declared two signs.
**SNIP**
In New Jersey, a 180-car caravan under the banner of 'Wheels of Palestine' drove from Paterson to Teaneck, which was declared 'the most Jewish city in New Jersey' by Haaretz in 2018.
In Chicago, protesters shut down the I-90 and I-94 after marching down Michigan Avenue, according to Fox 32.
Roadways in the California capital of Sacramento were also shut down due to protests, KCRA reported.

Again (seen it before). Not one hand printed protest sign in the bunch of pictures I can see. ALL professionally made and expensive. That’s our tax money being spent here.
Then they have real bombs as well and expect this to escalate as long as our government puts up with this crap.
And I'm sure they'd be fine with cutting all funding, donations, and payoffs to Gaza and Iran as well.
Impractical. A person or persons could get off 2-3 shots and scoot and repeat another day.
That would have the same chilling effect.
I’ve never been any closer to NYC than Scranton, PA and Lord willing I’ll never have to go there.
Two college student tenants broke their lease in December. One was from Virginia, other from Florida. Their parents are filthy filthy rich. While cleaning out the apartment I came across a lot of defund the police, anti I.C.E. and other woke propaganda.
I'd wager a lot of these white faces protesting are from out of State, getting credits for their actions and giving NYC a bad reputation.
>It was amazing and disgusting to see how many white people were marching with them. <
I guess there really are white supremacists Nazis after all. Who knew?
EC
Interesting...do you know what school they were attending?
Arrest them, and deliver them to Gaza in irons. Remove the shackles once they’re in Gaza.
Parsons and NYU (film)
That's sad.
If all people are removed, NYC is a beautiful place. The architecture is just awesome. Even the ghettos have a certain charm.
It's not like how the "news" portrays it.
Figures
Agreed.
