On New Year's Day, hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Times Square to call for an 'intifada revolution' in response to a terrorist attack at a New Year's parade in New Orleans. The protest, organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, and the People's Forum, saw attendees chanting slogans such as 'There is only one solution: Intifada revolution' and 'Resistance is glorious — we will be victorious.'
Protesters carried signs with messages like 'Zionism is a cancer,' 'No war on Iran,' and 'End all U.S. aid to Israel.' The atmosphere was tense, with one woman shouting at counter-protesters to 'go back to Europe.'
