Pro-Palestinian protesters clashed with riot police outside the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday, resulting in a number of arrests. The tense scene unfolded as demonstrators voiced their grievances over the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.
The protests were sparked by the recent violence in the Gaza Strip, where dozens of Palestinians have been killed in Israeli airstrikes. Demonstrators gathered outside the DNC to demand action from Democratic leaders, who they feel have not done enough to address the humanitarian crisis in the region.
As tensions escalated, police were forced to intervene to maintain order. Video footage from the scene shows officers in riot gear pushing back protesters and making several arrests. The clashes were a stark reminder of the deep divisions and emotions surrounding the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Despite the arrests and confrontations, protesters remained steadfast in their calls for justice and solidarity with the Palestinian people. The event served as a stark reminder of the complex political dynamics at play within the Democratic Party, as leaders navigate competing interests and allegiances in the Middle East.
As the protests continue, it is clear that the issue of Palestine will remain a significant and contentious topic for political leaders and activists alike.

Those of us with a working brain knew this alliance between the left and Izlamists wasn't going to work out for long.
Complete control. The press is dying for any sort of mayhem. CPD is on it.

Are you better off than you were 4 yrs ago ?
Is it cheaper for you to buy things in the store or put fuel at the pump than it was 4 yrs ago?
Is America respected through out the world as it was?
If not, go MAGA is the only way !!!
Y’all don’t like it, but this is a very intentional protest in action. The protesters are choosing to clash with the police to commemorate and intentionally harken back to the time when the police were especially violent and cruel towards protesters. They’re making a very specific and intentional political statement after a day of peaceful protesting. You might not like the form of protesting that they choose or the way that they choose to exercise their freedom of speech, but they are willing to take the consequences and Doing exactly what their goal is, which is to be arrested and go through the court system as a demonstration to their beliefs, and to gain attention around this issue and demonstrate against the Biden administrations relationship with Israel and funding the massacre of civilians in Palestine.
Too bad the residents of chicago arent a priority 365 days a year
Awesome. As a whyte Canadian of western European ancestry I would side with these ppl long before the right or left establishment. I was a Trumper until I realized it was just another J suker.
They were chanting "infitada" 😳
Bring all Palestinians and rohingyas to America
Nobody cares in the democratic party. And the top democratic party is there in the crime infested city of Chicago. And their not saying anything about it and they really don't care what's happening on the streets there in Chicago.
If Biden thinks they have a point, why not let them in?
A fifth column is a group of people who undermine a larger group or nation from within, usually in favor of an enemy group or another nation. The activities of a fifth column can be overt or clandestine. Forces gathered in secret can mobilize openly to assist an external attack – Wiki
“There is no morality in war.
Morality is the privilege of those judging from the distance. War is only death and destruction.”

Ironic how these protesters hate homophobes, yet defends a country full of homophobes.
WELCOME TO CHIRAQ
I wonder if Rep. Talib and Omar have in contact with the organizers of the protest.
It looks like the cops are arresting NKOTB fans .
The party of love and unity ehh? 😂
"The chaos/violence continues & it's only the 2nd night".
The reporter on the scene is the perfect demonstration of how many members of the press are hyperbolic trash.
You know this is staged, right?
I don't see this happening to Trump's conference.
They call the police riot police but the rioters are called protesters
Wish they would let them into the dnc
