The DNC is going to be so much fun next week! #sarcasm
Pro-Israel group Israeli American Council (IAC) said Chicago denied it a permit to march and protest outside the DNC:
“It’s an outrage,” said Elan Carr, CEO of Israeli American Council (IAC), the group who applied for two permits with Chicago’s Department of Transportation last month.”We put in a permit to march, to exercise our First Amendment rights. Not only to stand up for Israel, but to stand up for America, because the people who love Israel are the people who stand with America, wave American flags, not burn them. Sadly, not only has that permit not been granted to us, but in the interim, a permit has been granted for anti-Israel groups, the same groups that do burn the American flag…”Carr told “Fox & Friends First” Monday that he feels the alleged differential treatment is “inequitable” and went on to allege that his group’s effort to show photos of American hostages in Gaza at Midway and O’Hare airports was also denied.”They wouldn’t even put it [the rejection] in writing. It was a phone call,” he told co-host Carley Shimkus.”We said, ‘Can you give us an actual denial in writing?’ They said, ‘No, we’re not going to put it in writing. It’s going to be a phone call only.’ I’ll tell you, this is bad stuff and this should be looked into,” he added.
However, the city gave permits to plenty of anti-Israel groups. A federal judge rejected their request for more space after they claimed Chicago’s “preferred protest route violates their First Amendment rights.”
The groups Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, the Anti-War Committee, Students for a Democratic Society at UIC, and the U.S. Palestinian Community Network will “March on DNC 2024” next week after Chicago approved their permit weeks ago.
They’ve given Kamala the nickname “Killer Kamala.”
Tens of thousands of people from places such as Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin will arrive by bus:
“We’re not going to do anything different. We’re going to mobilize,” the groups’ [U.S. Palestinian Community Network] leader, Hatem Abudayyeh told NBC News. “Harris represents the administration; she represents Biden. There is nothing that she has expressed independently that tells us she does not support the policies.””The movement is saying not only are we needing to stop the genocide, but we need to stop the possibility that this thing is going to be a regional war,” he added.
