Pro-Palestine protesters disrupt Macy's Parade in New York

At the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York, an event that is attended by millions of people and viewed on television by millions more, a group of pro-Palestinian protesters disrupted the event, calling for an end to the war in Gaza.

"The United States of America was founded on genocide: the mass killing, displacement, and subjugation of Indigenous Americans," read a statement from Writers Against the War on Gaza, a group that disrupted the parade.

"Given this fact of our nation's genesis, it should come as no surprise that the US government would also enthusiastically fund and arm Israel in its genocide of Palestinians."

It was one of several pro-Palestine disruptions that took place at Thanksgiving Day parades across the US.
