HUMBUG! Pro-Palestinian Protesters May Be Planning to Ruin NYC Tree Lighting; Report

According to a New York Post report, pro-Palestinian protesters may be planning to flood 30 Rockefeller Plaza to derail the traditional lighting of the Christmas tree. The NYPD is encouraging all attendees to exercise caution and “elevated vigilance.”

From The New York Post:

The [NYPD] memo notes that there are no “specific or credible” threats targeting the world-renowned annual event — which is expected to draw tens of thousands of revelers to Midtown on Wednesday.

But the threat evaluation notice pointed out that mass gatherings and high-profile events such as the ceremony — hosted this year by singer Kelly Clarkson — could be easy targets for “malicious actors” looking to do harm during the holiday season.

Since the bloody Oct. 7 attack launched by Hamas on Israel, “a variety of foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) have persistently called for broad attacks on US interests,” the NYPD said in the memo.

While that propaganda alone isn’t a reliable cause for alarm, those “incitements” may “resonate” with “US-based homegrown violent extremists” and “mobilize some to action, necessitating elevated vigilance” during the holiday season, it warned.

Pro-Palestinian protesters crashed the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade this year by gluing their hands to the street, bringing the parade floats to a grinding halt.
