Thousands marched through the streets of New York City on October 7 and 8, 2025, in a massive rally showing solidarity with Palestine. The protesters raised Palestinian flags and chanted slogans calling for freedom, justice, and an end to Israeli aggression in Gaza. The march was part of the broader commemoration of the second anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel, emphasizing ongoing resistance to what participants called the 77-year occupation. The rally proceeded largely peacefully with groups gathering in areas like Sixth Avenue, Times Square, and Central Park for rallies and prayers. The march also featured calls for peace talks, criticism of media coverage, and expressions of empathy for Palestinian suffering amid the Gaza conflict. Despite the large turnout, no major arrests were reported during these events
