People looking to get some last-minute Christmas shopping done were forced to deal with the performative antics of pro-Hamas protesters looking to disrupt the festive holiday weekend to demand a ceasefire in Gaza.
During a “Super Saturday” in New York City, the hustle and bustle of customers looking for gifts was hindered by a motley crew of left-wing miscreants squealing that there would be “no Christmas as usual during a genocide,” a term so overused by leftists that it is rapidly losing its potency.
The participants brayed the usual Jew-hating slogans and carried signs depicting President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu covered with blood, images unfit for children who at this time of year should be enjoying Santa Claus and sugar plum fairies and not the propaganda of useful idiots marching in support of the Hamas terror organization which is itself bathed in blood.
Footage and images of the grotesque spectacle were shared by users on X, previously known as Twitter.

The collection of life’s miserable losers were reportedly participating in the call for action dubbed “Shut it Down for Palestine” that was promoted by the far-left ANSWER Coalition which called for ruining the day for holiday shoppers across the nation.

“The genocidal Israeli assault on Gaza is continuing with incredible cruelty,” the group said on its website. “This Christmas, occupation forces are sniping Christians sheltering in their besieged churches in Gaza and Christians in Bethlehem have declared that their celebrations are canceled. People everywhere must continue to declare that there can be no Christmas as usual during a genocide!”

It wasn’t just the Big Apple where the temper tantrums sought to inconvenience people as anti-Israel activists blocked traffic at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport on one of the busiest travel weekends of the year.

The protests for Hamas also took place across the pond where holiday shoppers were disrupted by screaming mobs in London.

Such protests that deliberately inconvenience innocent people – especially during Christmas – aren’t likely to win hearts and minds or sway many to the cause of saving the terrorists responsible for the slaughter of over a thousand Jews with many of the victims being women and children.
