Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters attempted to cancel Christmas in New York City on Monday, as they carried a blood-covered mock Nativity scene across the Big Apple and chanted, "Christmas is canceled here," according to reports.
Along with chanting the cancelation of Christmas, protesters shouted, "Long live the intifada," and "NYPD KKK, IDF they’re all the same," among other things.
The protesters mobbed Rockefeller Center where the popular Christmas Tree and ice skating rink are located and where people go to enjoy the holiday.
One of the signs being carried by a protester read, "While Ur Shopping Bombs are Dropping," the New York Post reported. Another read, "No Joy in Genocide," which was splattered on top of a faux Nativity scene splattered with what appeared to be fake blood and carried on the shoulders of demonstrators.
