Pro-Palestinian activists march to major NYC transportation hubs, disrupting traffic in the Big Apple

Anti-Israel activists arrived by the hundreds in New York City and marched through the streets on Dec. 18, 2023, calling for a ceasefire and the end of genocide of Palestinians.

Pro-Palestinian protesters marched through New York City on Monday afternoon, making stops at major transportation hubs and disrupting traffic along the way.

The hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters walked in traffic lanes while passing buses and cars, demanding a cease-fire in Gaza.
