Anti-Israel protesters used Black Friday to annoy and offend people in multiple cities. The same things we have seen on college campuses across the country was carried out on city streets and in shopping centers.
This is how the radical left kicks off the holiday season.
It happened in Los Angeles. From The Hill:

The protestors reportedly began their trek at neighboring Pan Pacific Park.“Traffic Advisory: Wilshire Division is monitoring a demonstration in the area of 3rd Street and Fairfax,” a post by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Wilshire Community Police Station on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter read. “Demonstrators have blocked some intersections. Expect traffic delays if you are traveling through this area.”
It happened in Massachusetts. WCVB News reports:
Pro-Palestinian protest group targets Massachusetts Puma store in Assembly Row on Black FridayPro-Palestinian demonstrators marched outside of store entrances in Somerville’s Assembly Row on the morning of Black Friday, traditionally one of the biggest shopping days of the year.The group, Boston Coalition for Palestine, said in a statement they were targeting the PUMA store but they were also seen marching in front of the neighboring Express location. Several members of the group carried signs or wore shirts with messages calling for a permanent ceasefire, the end to Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, suspension of U.S. support for Israel and other messages, including some slogans that are widely perceived as calling for an end to the Israeli state.PUMA, a Germany-based company, has been widely targeted by pro-Palestine groups. The company’s local distribution partner provides equipment to the Israeli National Teams for international competitions but a spokesperson said the company does not have any other ties to any Israeli League or any football clubs.
It happened in Chicago. ABC 7 in Chicago reported:
