Mass arrests at Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade as anti-Israel protesters block procession
By Zoe Hussain,Larry Celona,Joe Marino, Isabel Keane and Matt Troutman, NY Post, Nov. 28, 2024, 9:47 a.m. ET
They’re parading straight into custody.
Anti-Israel protesters tried to ruin the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade for the second year running Thursday, with cops quickly swarming in to gobble up roughly 25 arrests.
ADVERTISEMENTThe firebrands entered the parade route at West 55th Street and Fifth Avenue, stopping the Ronald McDonald balloon in its tracks around 9:25 a.m., police said — and drawing loud jeers from parade-goers screaming at the killjoys to move.
Photos showed protesters sitting in the parade’s path, with some unfurling a large banner that read: “Don’t celebrate genocide!”

Cops cuffed about 25 protesters “without incident” and hauled them away to face pending charges, police said – but the arrests appeared more violent than the NYPD’s account.

Footage captured by The Post showed the protesters holding the banner scuffling with cops before they too were thrown onto the ground and handcuffed on top of their crumpled-up sign.
Other demonstrators willingly stood up and walked with police away from the parade.

Protesters entered the parade route at W. 55th Street and Sixth Avenue. REUTERSADVERTISEMENTThe rabble rousers were carted to One Police Plaza, where they spent hours during their Turkey Day in the NYPD’s mass arrest processing center, sources said.
”This is disgusting,” said a Brooklyn cop. “There are times and places to peacefully protest, but not the Thanksgiving day parade. This a day for families to enjoy and not be interrupted by these a–holes.”
The protesters were “autonomous anti-genocide activists,” independent reporter Talia Jane posted on X, along with a viral video viewed 1 million times showing them hop barricades, block the Ronald McDonald balloon and sit in the street.
Their antics only disrupted the parade for about five minutes.

The protests were met with boos and jeers from spectators gathered to watch the parade. REUTERSMayor Eric Adams had already warned protesters not to dare repeat last year’s disgrace, where many glued their hands to the parade route.
“I really want to take the moment to tell those grinches that believe they are going to disrupt the parade that it is not going to happen,” Adams said Wednesday night ahead of the iconic parade.

The protests during the parade Thursday appeared less disruptive than last year’s, when officials said cops arrested about 40 agitators.
Two people waiting outside NYPD headquarters for protesters to be processed declined to comment to The Post.
City Hall spokeswoman Kayla Mamelak called this year’s disruption “disrespectful.”
“Interrupting New York City’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to protest a conflict overseas is disrespectful and accomplishes absolutely nothing,” she said.
