Video footage from several news organizations showed demonstrators blocking the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York to protest the treatment of Palestinians by Israel in the ongoing war. Protesters, donning white jumpsuits, crossed spectator barricades along the parade route. They carried a banner that read "Liberation for Palestine and Planet" and their jumpsuits included words such as "Capitalism," "Colonialism," and "Racism."

The climate advocate coalition, Seven Circles Alliance, claimed responsibility for the demonstration, protesting what they called "the ongoing ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestinians." Some demonstrators glued themselves to the pavement and poured a reddish liquid over each other, seemingly to mimic blood. Police officers attempted to remove and handcuff the protesters as the parade continued past them.

The New York City Police Department is confirming the total number of people arrested, and Macy's has not yet responded to requests for comment. Additionally, one person was taken into custody for pro-Palestinian graffiti outside of the New York Public Library's main branch.

Pro-Palestinian protesters also defaced the front of the New York City Public Library, spray-painting the words "Free Palestine" on the building's pillars and bloody handprints on its base. The Library stated that it strongly supports the right to protest but the vandalism will be costly to repair. No arrests have been reported so far.

Overall, it appears that protesters did disrupt the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and deface the New York Public Library to protest the treatment of Palestinians.
