Shocking moment pro-Palestine protesters set off SMOKE BOMBS in Macys in New York City as protesters march through the Big Apple... but are steered away from Times Square ball drop

Pro-Palestinian protesters are marching through New York City on New Years Eve after Mayor Eric Adams said he had the NYPD prepared to step up security ahead of celebrations in Times Square.

Groups had expressed intentions to protest in Times Square against Israel's military campaign in the Gaza Strip having already disrupted the Thanksgiving Day Parade and lighting of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree.

At Macy's in Herald Square, at least one demonstrator set off a bright red smoke bomb and were allowed to take a lap around the famous department store before being escorted out.

At least one group was spotted marching from 59th Street all the way down to 45th and 5th Avenue, just a block away from where the ball will drop at midnight.

The marchers were singing the infamous 'from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' chant that has been decried as anti-Semitic by members of both parties in Congress, as well as the Anti-Defamation League.

The protesters - suggested to be as many as 3,000 by one reporter were also re-iterating the left-wing calls for a cease-fire in Gaza.

Multiple protesters targeted Bronx Democrat Rep. Ritchie Torres, an ardent pro-Israel Congressman.

'Ritchie Torres: blood on your hands! Stop funding genocide!' and 'Money for the Bronx, not for war' declared two signs.

**SNIP**

In New Jersey, a 180-car caravan under the banner of 'Wheels of Palestine' drove from Paterson to Teaneck, which was declared 'the most Jewish city in New Jersey' by Haaretz in 2018.

In Chicago, protesters shut down the I-90 and I-94 after marching down Michigan Avenue, according to Fox 32.

Roadways in the California capital of Sacramento were also shut down due to protests, KCRA reported.

It was amazing and disgusting to see how many white people were marching with them. But NYC IS filled with dumb-as-rocks libtards whose main thing in life seems to be virtue signalling. I wonder if they were forced to see what Hamas actually did to their Israeli victims how they’d feel. Would they view a beheaded baby and still hole up their stupid pro-palescumian signs? Would they see a raped Israeli woman with nails driven into her thighs and shout “From the river to the sea”? They are some seriously screwed up people who drank very deeply the libtard Koolaid.

How does this not qualify as violent terrorism? No one was kills but short of that, this is terrorism. Intimidation and fear in support of a terrorist organization and people.

For Time Square ball drop, it was impossible not to notice the crowds being sectioned into small areas for control.

Good job, NYPD.

Be a shame if a sniper in one of those tall NYC buildings took out a couple of these terrorists and bolted away each time they crawl out of the sewer.

I’d shed a tear. Of laughter.

it is violent terrorism and is exactly what since Biden approves of it that an attorney general from a conservative state needs to throw Pedo Joe off the ballot for fomenting insurrections and aiding foreign enemies.

So what are we doing about it. The Squad in Congress is openly pro-Hamas.

That was unthinkable during the years after 9/11.

But 9/11 was 23 years ago.

We should have snipers taking out terrorists. This country is turning into a Middle East third world killing field. Meanwhile, we import more terrorists.

Meanwhile, Congress yaks about Hunter Biden’s coke addiction and prostitutes while America burns.

Shocking?

Um, no. It's a juvenile prank and not even that original.

What's not shocking is the Daily Mail trying to stir up outrage to pimp their website.

I went to Times Square 3 times in the 1980s. So much fun. Like a massive open-air bar. Cops didn’t think about security before 9/11. No stupid cell phones. No fags. Little diversity. Bygone era.

I think they secretly think that protesting WITH these terrorists (and even the woke fringe) will immune them somehow from the criticism and violence perpetrated on their ilk every day in urban areas. But it doesn’t work and they’re too stupid to understand that.
