Atheists Seek Record Voter Turnout to ‘Oppose Christian Extremism’: ‘Vote Like Your Life Depends on It’
On Dec. 25, approximately 500 pro-Palestinian demonstrators converged in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, to protest and disrupt Christmas celebrations in the area. Carrying signs with slogans like “Christmas is canceled here” and “No joy in genocide,” the protesters mobbed the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center, where many revelers had gathered to enjoy the holiday, according to the New York Post.
The demonstration involved protesters hauling a bloody Nativity scene to represent the cancellation of Christmas. Scuffles broke out between protesters and police throughout the night, with arrests reported near Grand Central Station and Union Square.
