Thanksgiving Parades Marred by Protests and Disruptions
The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe responded to a political demonstration involving a Palestinian flag on their float during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The tribe stated that the actions were not endorsed by them and emphasized that they take no stance on conflicts overseas. The parade also saw disruptions related to the conflict between Hamas and Israel, with protesters briefly blocking the street. The demonstration occurred on the eve of a four-day cease-fire expected to include a prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas.
