Thanksgiving March Meets Protest: Activists Arrested at New York Parade

Pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested by New York police after briefly blocking the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade near the Ronald McDonald float. Around 20 demonstrators carried banners condemning "genocide" and demanding an arms embargo. Despite warnings, the police, including bicycle-mounted officers, quickly intervened to disperse the group. The protest highlighted the ongoing Gaza conflict, where thousands of Palestinians have died following Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel. The protesters were arrested without incident, and charges are expected.
