In an unexpected turn of events, hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters created chaos around Rockefeller Center on Wednesday, aiming to disrupt the annual tree lighting ceremony and garner attention for their cause, reported New York Post. The demonstrators clashed with NYPD officers, chanting slogans such as "River to the sea," a phrase often criticized as antisemitic, in support of Gaza. Chants of "Free, free Palestine!" echoed through the streets as protesters confronted police officers.
