Pro-Palestinian activists prepare to rally at Democratic convention in Chicago

CHICAGO — He walked down a side street, eyes darting here and there, wondering how it would unfold.

“What kind of fences will the police have? Will they bring dogs?” Hatem Abudayyeh asked. He stopped in the shadow of the United Center, home of the NBA’s Bulls and the NHL’s Blackhawks and a draw for tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators who are expected to protest against U.S. support for Israel at the Democratic National Convention this month. “I hope they don’t militarize it,” he said. “The first statement the police made was about mass arrests. They’ve backed off a little. But they’re trying to intimidate us.”

The son of Palestinian immigrants, Abudayyeh is one of the march’s organizers and has long been at the center of civil rights protests. He was investigated by the FBI more than a decade ago — no charges were brought — and in 2017 he helped block traffic at Chicago O’Hare International Airport over then-President Trump’s Muslim travel ban.

Somehow the Republicans had a peaceful and productive convention.

I just don’t think Chiraq is the place to to pull off a peaceful convention.

“in 2017 he helped block traffic at Chicago O’Hare International Airport over then-President Trump’s Muslim travel ban.”

In a country where civilization was honored he would still be in prison for that move.

Deport these monsters. If they are native born, dump them in the ocean.

Palestinians, if you don’t show what your demands are from the Democrats during their convention in Chicago no one will ever take you seriously.

A peaceful “rally” by these people at the DNC will be confirmation they only riot when they are paid to do so by their democrat overlords

Of course they will, along with every other group that wants something.

There will also be a lot of the more usual criminal types showing up to take advantage of the chaos.

1968 all over again. This time with radical Islam. But as we all know, the Marxists will be there with their signage and plumage.
