During the Christmas holiday, a wave of protests against the war in Gaza swept through cities such as Rome, New York, and Tel Aviv, with thousands of demonstrators taking to the streets. In Los Angeles, the local BLM chapter held a direct action on Christmas Eve, confronting Jewish counter-protesters in a heavily Jewish area of West L.A. The protests in New York City were marked by violent actions at Grand Central Station on Christmas Day, with demonstrators shouting 'Long live Hamas' and 'Love live the intifada,' as well as praise for Allah, indicating a view of the conflict as religious. Protesters also demanded the cancellation of Christmas, carrying placards that read 'Stop calling it conflict when it's genocide' and 'Ceasefire now.' Six pro-Palestinian protesters were charged over the disruptions, and dozens were arrested, including 26 for blockading the expressway to JFK Airport. The NYPD officers faced attacks during the riots, and in Manhattan, hundreds gathered to call for a ceasefire in the conflict. Additionally, a nativity scene under rubble was displayed at the Rockefeller Center in solidarity with Palestinians. The demonstrations also led to altercations with the police, and the authorities arrested dozens of demonstrators outside Kennedy and Los Angeles International Airports.
