During the famed Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade on Thursday, pro-Palestinian protestors took over the parade route in New York and attempted to shut it down.

The crowd was heard booing as protestors poured fake blood on each other, chanting "liberation for Palestine and planet." In footage from Freedomnews, protestors group were seen being arrested by NYPD.



Some protestors glued their hands to the pavement.



The NYPD told them to get off the road.



The Seven Circles Alliance, which organized the protest, posted video of their members being hauled off by the NYPD. They claimed that the protest was "In an urgent call to action, Seven Circles Alliance, a coalition of climate, social justice and political activists, disrupted the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to bring attention to the ongoing ethnic cleansing and genocide of Palestinians. Seven Circles demands that the United States cease its support for Israel’s occupation of Palestine and calls for both the United States and Israel to recognize the ICC (International Criminal Court). Confronting the issues of capitalism, along with colonialism and imperialism, head-on is urgently required by environmental and social justice groups, as well as everything in between."

One float for the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe included members flying Palestinian flags.

Protestors with the ANSWER Coalition were along the parade route, holding sings and Palestinian flags.





The group that organized the protest issued a statement in which they linked the Palestinian movement to climate change, saying "A free Palestine and the liberation and decolonization of all people, everywehre is deeply linked with the climate movement. If the powers of the West are unabashedly supporting genocide and ethnic cleansing, it is crystal clear that they will not budge an inch in addressing climate breakdown and preventing societal collapse. Climate is a human rights issue, and what we are witnessing right now in Palestine is one of the greatest human rights issues of our time."

"As expressed by human rights activist Ajamu Baraka," they continued, "we believe that "The fight for climate and environmental justice is in fact a revolutionary project, requiring mass-global resistance and the expropriation of economic and political power of finance and corporate capital." Confronting the issues of capitalism, along with colonialism and imperialism, head-on is urgently required by environmental and social justice groups, as well as everything in between."



The Seven Circles Alliance claims to be "a coalition of diverse groups that employ direct action to bring class consciousness to the climate movement and force political and economic system change through a decolonial lens."

Seven Circles Alliance is the same group that protested the Burning Man Festival in Nevada. They sat in the roadway on the way to the festival and prevented revelers from getting to their destination. That, too, was an "urgent call to action."

This is a breaking story and will be updated.
