Pro-Palestinian protesters briefly disrupted the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City on Thursday for the second consecutive year, leading to multiple arrests. According to the NYPD, 21 people were arrested after attempting to block the parade route ahead of the Ronald McDonald float at West 55th Street and Sixth Avenue. The protesters jumped over barricades and entered the street, chanting "Free Palestine" and waving Palestinian flags. The crowd reacted with boos as police quickly intervened, removing the protesters and allowing the parade to continue minutes later. The incident occurred despite previous warnings from city officials about a zero-tolerance policy for disruptions.
