Two Anti-Israel Protestors Who Affixed Themselves to Sixth Avenue on Thanksgiving Manage to Avoid Criminal Charges— One Says They’d Do It ‘again’!
CheapNailsalonsnearme–In an event that stirred significant attention, two anti-Israel activists, who made headlines by adhering themselves to Sixth Avenue during the celebrated Thanksgiving Day Parade in Manhattan, managed to avoid criminal charges. The activists, identified as Jay Waxse and Natalia Scollo (who identifies as Ezra), were initially facing charges including obstructing governmental administration and resisting arrest.
However, they ultimately pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct. Their act of protest was a dramatic one – they glued their hands to the pavement, covering themselves in fake blood while wearing white jumpsuits bearing provocative slogans like “colonialism,” “ethnic cleansing,” and “fascism.”
They were part of a larger group protesting for Palestinian liberation, disrupting the 97th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The scene was a blend of political statement and performance art, designed to draw public attention to their cause. Ezra Scollo, a pole dancer and yoga instructor according to his LinkedIn profile, spoke passionately about his motivations.

His life, seemingly conventional with a college education, tax-paying, and family care, took a turn towards activism out of a strong conviction against what he perceives as his government’s involvement in the oppression of Palestinians. His stance is clear: the fight for Palestinian rights is a fight he is willing to be arrested for, repeatedly if necessary.
His co-defendant, Jay Waxse, is known for his advocacy on various issues including climate change, homelessness, and education funding. Both Waxse and Scollo are associated with the Poor People’s Campaign, reflecting their broader commitment to social justice causes.
Their actions, though controversial, highlight the lengths some individuals will go to to voice their opposition to perceived injustices and bring to light the ongoing and complex debate surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
