For several weeks, the City of Chicago has been sitting on a request from a pro-Israel group to hold a solidarity march during the Democratic National Convention, even as it has granted permission for a coalition of pro-Palestinian activists to demonstrate when the proceedings kick off later this month.
The Israeli American Council, a nonprofit organization representing Israeli-Americans that seeks to strengthen ties between the U.S. and Israel, filed two applications with Chicago’s Department of Transportation at the beginning of July, according to Aya Schechter, the group’s chief programming officer.
But with just under two weeks remaining until the convention, the IAC has yet to receive an answer from the city, despite following up via phone and email.
The group had also submitted an application in mid-June for a stationary demonstration within “sight and sound” of the convention, which will be held at the United Center on Chicago’s West Side. That request was denied, according to a rejection letter, which said the proposed rally “would be a direct interference with a previously planned permitted activity or public assembly and would create public safety issues.”
While the letter said it would instead allow the IAC to rally in a public park on the final evening of the convention, which is scheduled to run Aug. 19-22, the IAC chose not to accept the offer because it was too far away from the United Center, according to Schechter.
For Schechter, the so far unsuccessful effort to secure a desirable permit ahead of the convention, which is expected to draw thousands of anti-Israel protesters, has underscored what she characterized as unbalanced treatment as her group seeks to show support for Israel and the hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.

DNC-the party of subversion, economic ruin, jobs destruction, perversion, Communism, societal divisiveness, Nazism, Terrorism, and Racism. And rigged elections, let’s not forget what they’re really best at.
How they could put all that in a catchy slogan?
I wonder if the Feds will be marching in their matching khakis and polo shirts under some cutesy name like Patriot Front?
I guess the DNC figures they already own the Jewish vote so now the court the Muslim vote.
I hope pro-Palestinian terrorist wing of the demonrat party floods the DNC convention next week.
They need to have to explain all their nutballs on live TV.
They will try to invade the Convention Center and shut it down. How will the Chicago authorities deal with coming mob terrorism?

That should say November 1932
Perhaps so
The media will NOT show any Pro-Palestinian rallys/marches that are in any way out of hand. If they do show them on TV they will show only the parts of it that are calm. You know, because it will be peaceful protests from law-abiding First Amendment citizens.
It is time for Conservatives to boycott those American corporations bent on the nation’s destruction. We should start with CBS, which is owned by Paramount Global and controls activity at CBS, Paramount and MTV.
I agree. It seems we have limited defense options but this is a good one.
true, Obama (or what’s his real name) election was when the penultimate nail was driven into America’s coffin

Maybe, just maybe, some of my idiot co-religionists will finally understand that the Dems don’t care about them, they just pay the Jews lip service in order to get donations (just like they pay lip service to the Blacks for votes). I would settle for a 10%-15% shift - I certainly don’t expect a majority to vote for anyone but the Dems, but I will take any progress that there may be.
