The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade — two years away from its 100th birthday — this year will feature 17 giant character balloons, 22 floats, 15 novelty and heritage inflatables, 11 marching bands, 700 clowns,

The group of around 20 anti-Israel protestors took to the streets on Sixth Avenue, blocking the parade right in front of the Ronald McDonald balloon holding a sign with pro-Palestinian messages like “Free Palestine,” “Arms Embargo Now” and “Don’t Celebrate Genocide.”
