Nationwide pro-Palestine protests have escalated into confrontations and disruptions during the Christmas holiday, with protesters in Baltimore declaring 'No Christmas as usual during a genocide' and demanding an end to Israel's siege on Gaza and a lasting ceasefire. In New York City, a massive crowd of Hamas sympathizers caused havoc on Saturday, with some activists calling to 'Wake up America!' and claiming that Hamas allies hate America, freedom, and democracy. In Australia, lunatic Hamas supporters disrupted a Christmas Eve charity event for blind children, and in New York, demonstrators burned a Christmas tree outside of Fox News HQ. The protests have been characterized by chants for intifada and actions that have intimidated communities, such as in YorkCentre, where police were urged to ensure safety from hate and violence. In Manhattan, pro-Hamas protesters disrupted Christmas for Catholics and Christians, and a large protest in Midtown Manhattan ended with arrests and an injured NYPD officer. The New York Police Department escalated its response to a Level Three Mobilization due to numerous fights between protesters and police. Several police officers were wounded in the clashes, and there were reports of a protester punching an officer in the throat. The protests have also targeted Christmas shopping in Toronto, causing concern for the retail industry's most important day. Amidst these events, some individuals have expressed that these are not legitimate forms of protest but rather attacks on communities and the holiday itself.
