Demonstrators waved Palestinian flags and chanted, "There is one solution, intifada revolution" and "Long live the intifada."
Among the anti-Israel activists, wrapped in keffiyehs to hide their identity, were other radicals advocating for their own causes, but the majority were using antisemitic terms such as "Globalize the Intifada," and claiming “Israel is a terrorist state."
Demonstrators waved Palestinian flags and chanted, "There is one solution, intifada revolution" and "Long live the intifada." Chicago police arrested several activists who defied their orders.
Activist Cole Bennett told Fox News that he doesn’t support Harris' Israel policy adding "That's why we're here … the fact is that the policy that we're actively seeking is a ceasefire deal, that means nothing when you have the ability to turn off the aid and turn off the bombs to Israel. They could do that tomorrow and they should, and they shouldn't expect any of our votes until they do."
Another protester, Evan, told the outlet, "A ceasefire should be forced. I don't think Joe Biden would suffer too much fallout from that. And he's not running for re-election anyway, so he ought to take one for the team if that's what they're worried about, that would clear a path for November and that would bring a whole hell of a lot of people on board. This is still Joe Biden's game."
The anti-Israel groups burned American flags, jeered at delegates leaving the convention, and taunted police throughout the evening.
Radicals also confronted drivers on the road, with one cracking a man’s window.

The purpose of the carpet bombing of Palestinian civilian homes & refugee camps & depriving them of food, water, electricity & medical supplies is to attempt to force the civilians to reject their leadership. That is the essence of terrorism. The Post Millennial including Andy, who did such incredible journalism previously, now refuses to cover the mass slaughter of innocent Palestinians & instead focuses on the types of incidents corporate media has always used to shift attention & attempt to discredit the anti-war movement. It won't work. The movement is going to grow, especially when students return to school.
