Thanksgiving Parade Marred by Protests and Heightened Security

Around 200 Palestinian supporters disrupted Detroit's Thanksgiving Day parade by peacefully marching down Woodward Avenue in solidarity with Palestine. The protesters aimed to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza and freedom for the Palestinian people. The march was ended by police officers without incident. The protesters criticized the funding of what they perceive as the genocide of indigenous people in Palestine, while also acknowledging the pain and suffering on both sides. A temporary ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel is expected to go into effect on Friday.
