    Hundreds of anti-Israel protesters crashed a gay pride parade in Philadelphia on Sunday, bringing the celebratory march to a halt.

    Hundreds of LGBTQ+ revelers were met by the political protesters chanting the anti-Israel slogan, “Palestine will live forever! From the sea to the river!” at the end of the parade route in the City of Brotherly Love, according to a video posted on X by conservative pundit Jack Posobiec .

    The showdown took place at the intersection of 11th Street and Locust Street after the Philly Pride March and Festival kicked off around 10:30 a.m. at Washington Square and headed to the city’s Gayborhood section.

    At one point, the anti-Israel crowd screamed, “PPP, KKK, IOF they are all the same!” while cops corralled them on one side of the junction and the pride marchers looked on with perplexed and dampened expressions, according to another video posted to X at 12:20 p.m .

    While it was not immediately clear if the “PPP” chant referred to the Philly Pride Parade, “KKK” and “IOF” were apparent references to the Ku Klux Klan and the Israel Occupation Forces.

    Some protesters in the anti-Israel group held up a rainbow flag with the words “no pride in genocide” painted on it, the video shows.

    Others wore Palestinian-style Kufiya scarves around their heads, and one protester could be seen holding a white sheet stuffed to look like a deceased child wrapped in a shroud, the footage shows.

    Meanwhile in New York City, the Israel Day Parade took place in Manhattan, where a masked maniac menaced marchers with a antisemitic sign that read, “Kill Hostages Now.”

    Antisemitism has been on the rise around the country since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack in Israel, where the terror group killed more than 1,200 people and took 250 hostages, many of whom are still captive by the terror group.

    Israeli has been embroiled in a war with Hamas since, launching a counter offensive in Gaza Strip that has killed thousands of Palestinian and displaced many more.
