For a brief moment Wednesday night, a scene out of a gritty political serial interposed itself onto a Hallmark Christmas moment. Pro-Palestinian activists descended on downtown Manhattan, intending to "flood" the Christmas tree lighting at Rockefeller Center, in honor of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, Hamas's code name for their brutal October 7 terror attack on innocent Israeli civilians that killed 1,200 Israelis and wounded more than 5,000. The war on Christmas looks a little different this year.
