Anti-Israel activists assault NYPD at NY Christmas tree lighting, threatening a Chauvin-like incident
Pro-Palestinian Demonstrators Clash with NYPD at Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting
On Wednesday night, a heated confrontation unfolded at the annual lighting of the giant Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center in Manhattan. Pro-Palestinian demonstrators clashed with officers from the New York Police Department (NYPD) in an attempt to disrupt the event.
Prior to the gathering, pro-Palestinian groups issued a “call for action,” asserting that “Jesus was a Palestinian” rather than Jewish. The call for action, titled “Flood The Tree Lighting,” referenced the name Hamas terrorists used for a previous attack on Israelis, known as “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.”
The NYPD’s Intelligence and Counterterrorism Bureau had anticipated protests and disruptions, stating that they would not tolerate any threats to public safety. Despite this warning, some demonstrators actively fought with police, breaking through barricades and shouting, “Shut it down.”
During the chaos, one masked individual burned an NYPD hat, while another taunted officers, making references to past acts of violence committed against the police. The situation escalated as tensions ran high.

Visibly Jewish person walks by pro-Hamas NYC rally yesterday.
He gets called a “nazi,” “k*ke,” “Jew piece of shit,” and a “genocide supporter”
At what point are we going to stop pretending any of this is about supporting Palestinians or a ceasefire?pic.twitter.com/PyxV2dKJAb

Pro-Palestinian Demonstrators Clash with NYPD at Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting
On Wednesday night, a tense and heated confrontation unfolded at the annual lighting of the giant Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center in Manhattan. Pro-Palestinian demonstrators clashed with officers from the New York Police Department (NYPD), in an attempt to disrupt the event and bring attention to their cause.
Prior to the gathering, various pro-Palestinian groups issued a “call for action,” asserting that ”Jesus was a Palestinian” rather than Jewish. This call for action, titled “Flood The Tree Lighting,” referenced the name Hamas terrorists used for a previous attack on Israelis, known as “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.”
Considering the potential for protests and disruptions, the NYPD’s Intelligence and Counterterrorism Bureau had anticipated the situation and made it clear that they would not tolerate any threats to public safety. Despite this warning, some demonstrators actively fought with police officers, breaking through barricades and shouting, “Shut it down.”
During the chaos, footage captured one masked individual burning an NYPD hat, while another taunted officers and made references to past acts of violence committed against the police. The situation escalated as tensions ran high.
Videos of the riotous demonstration have circulated online, providing a glimpse into the intensity of the clash. One mass-produced sign read, “Victory to the Palestinian resistance.” Additionally, footage showed a man in a keffiyeh heckling a black NYPD officer, further fanning the flames of the confrontation.
It is crucial to note that while protests and demonstrations serve as a way for marginalized groups and individuals to raise awareness and advocate for their cause, resorting to violence and confrontation undermines the message they seek to convey. Respectful and peaceful dialogue can be far more effective in achieving understanding and promoting change.
The clash between pro-Palestinian demonstrators and the NYPD at the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting serves as a reminder of the deep-rooted divisions and tensions present in our society today. It also highlights the importance of open communication and finding common ground to address such issues.
Moving forward, it is imperative for both sides to engage in meaningful conversations and respectful interactions in order to foster understanding and work towards peaceful resolutions. Only through dialogue and empathy can progress be made, and the rights and concerns of all parties can be respected.
