New York City is on high alert as it prepares for the Israel Day Parade on Fifth Avenue. The NYPD has issued advisories and will implement heightened security measures due to credible threats from extremists and other malicious actors. The parade, which typically draws thousands, is planned for Sunday, June 2nd, and will feature street closures from 62nd Street to 74th Street. New York City Mayor and NYPD officials have assured the public that safety preparations are in place to protect those celebrating. Despite the elevated risk, officials stress that there are no known specific threats at this time. The parade will also see a pro-Palestinian student walkout and potential protests related to the ongoing war in Gaza. The event will emphasize solidarity and a zero tolerance approach will be taken by the NYPD, especially in light of the Oct 7 hostages.

Israel Day parade cut big time and possibility entire parade being canceled per multiple sources which is a win for ter*rists. NYPD is afraid of crazy cab drivers... Threats are credible, but when it comes to Jewish people, law enforcement can't protect.
