New York, June 5 (RHC)-- In New York City, more than 100 Jewish activists disrupted the Celebrate Israel Day Parade on Sunday, on the eve of the 50th anniversary of the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories. Seven activists were arrested amid a series of protests.

One group of demonstrators locked themselves to each other across 5th Avenue to protest the New York Police Department’s collaboration with Israeli security forces. Another group of LGBT Jews staged a sit-in holding signs reading "No pride in apartheid" and "Queer Jews for a free Palestine."
