Pro-Hamas and pro-Nazi agitators descended on New York City's Midtown neighborhood in Manhattan Wednesday evening in an effort to crash the annual Rockefeller Christmas tree lighting.
The group showed up with covered faces, Palestinian flags (which are worn by Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip) and a sign featuring a Nazi swastika. They started at the Fox News Christmas tree and pushed their way closer to Rockefeller Center, which is a few blocks away. The Fox News Christmas tree lighting ceremony was last week, before Thanksgiving. The Rockefeller ceremony was Wednesday evening.
