As RedState previously reported, the fact that it was Thanksgiving week here in the United States did not deter the Usual Suspects from making complete idiots out of themselves on the issue of the Israel-Hamas war, with pro-Hamas protesters gluing themselves to the ground during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and vandalizing a New York City library display dedicated to one of its Jewish donors.
Even more disturbingly, the leader of AIPAC, a pro-Israel group, was targeted at his California home on Thanksgiving, where smoke grenades were fired off, fake blood was smeared, and baby body bags were thrown.
If it's a day ending in "y" these people will be showing out, and Friday was no exception, with anti-Israel radicals taking to the malls and shopping centers as part of a coordinated effort to try and shame Black Friday shoppers for focusing on their families and holiday shopping and not the antisemitic demands of woke leftists.
Here are some videos posted to social media of how they set about yelling and screaming at shoppers about the "bombing" they say is currently going on in Gaza and how they shouldn't be shopping when there is bombing going on:

"Pride" marchers were also participating in these events, an especially pathetic display considering how Hamas treats the LGBTQ community:

In this clip, watch as shoppers simply walk around protesters who were staging a "die-in" at a mall:

The only city I could find where shoppers were temporarily hampered was Raleigh, NC where a brief lockdown was put in place Friday morning after people erroneously reported that shots were fired:
According to Raleigh Police Department, the pro-Palestine protesters went into the mall and caused a disturbance around 10 a.m.
People inside the mall called 911 reporting shots fired, but officers confirm there were never any shots fired in the mall.
When officers arrived, they broke up the protest.

From what I've seen, it sounds like outside of minor inconveniences and annoyances - which people have to deal with anyway on Black Friday, most shoppers who witnessed the marching, yelling, and screaming continued to go on about their business. On the other hand, if these leftist whackos were trying to alienate people against them and their so-called "cause," I can't think of anything they would have done differently.
