Pro-Palestinian Protesters Demand Ceasefire and Aid in NYC and Colorado

Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters calling for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war shut down traffic in Midtown Manhattan, marking one of the largest actions in New York City in recent weeks. Protests have become a daily occurrence on the city's streets and campuses, reflecting rising anger over the war and concerns about antisemitic and anti-Muslim bias. The march in Midtown disrupted traffic on Fifth Avenue and 34th Street, with participants waving Palestinian flags and chanting slogans. The protest began as a student walkout and expanded into a larger rally, with tensions rising on college campuses over the Israel-Hamas conflict.
