The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade was temporarily halted when a group of pro-Palestinian protesters ran into the street and appeared to glue themselves to the pavement.
A group of about 30 protesters along Sixth Avenue in New York City jumped the barricades and ran into the street with a banner, forcing the floats, bands, and balloons to be diverted.

“Genocide then. Genocide now. Free Palestine. Land Back,” the banner said.
The protesters were taken into custody, according to ABC News.

The demonstration at the parade is one of many that have occurred over the past month as pro-Palestinian protesters call for a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas. In Washington, D.C., a number of them were arrested after refusing to leave a Capitol House office building and barricading the Democratic National Committee headquarters.
