Organizers are predicting “tens of thousands” of marchers. They say it will be family friendly and safe.
ome critics of Israeli actions in Gaza are worried about a pro-Palestinian march planned for the first day of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this month, saying a large protest could play into former President Donald Trump’s hands.
The critics say the protest could lead to clashes with police or counter protesters that would allow Republicans to blame the chaos on Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and paint the GOP as the party of law and order.

What is there to protest now that “Genocide Joe” is not on the presidential ticket? And Harris had to reject Shapiro because he is Jewish.
Yes, because obviously if you want to advocate for palestinian statehood you gather a jew hating mob of democrats shout at people in the streets, threaten them, announce your terrorist intentions, deface public property and burn down the police department.
I doubt they will have a convention.
In chicago, the true communist world headquarters for SEIU, Service Employees International Union is just south of the loop. This is where rent a crowds appear and disappear for just about anything on the left. The covid riots came from Union HQ. The Thugs at trump UIC rally came from SEIU front doors. This year their will be reenforcements from chicago teachers union, they are feeling left out of democratic discussions,and sometimes come into conflict with SEIU and ancharists who get bussed in. And we will will have 10k redwing fans/palestinians with real gripes bussed in. Everyone else mentioned could not point out Gaza on a map.
The chicago police and fire unions could throw a real wrench feeling ignored and have a blue and red flu during the convention, but the number of members on loads of OT during the event tend to knock that down, but fire are continuously salty because investment in the department is always never enough in their firehouse.
The wildcard is who else shows up. Perhaps a few of the right, doing what the FBI does, pushing people to do things they normalcy would not do. Its not like anyone arrested will stay in lockup for any amount of time.
Protest leader to protesters: “What do we want?”
Protesters: “1968!”
Protest leader to protesters: “When do we want it?”
Protesters: “Now!”

“Mostly peaceful “, Trump’s fault

Trump actually has a reasonable relationship with Mahmoud Abbas. Can’t say the same for Kakala. Abbas probably would refuse to meet her unless she wore a hijab.
Redwings fans? Why would Detroit fans come to Chicago? I’m assuming you meant to say Blackwings aka the Chicago Blackwings...
Blackhawks
The media won’t show it, much as they didn’t show the protests at the 2016 DNC convention
That Israel still exists.
“FAMILY FRIENDLY & SAFE”
THERE is an election comment——
Local public radio station (you help fund) is worried about protesters at the DNC Convention helping Trump.
No such thing a “peaceful” by Muslim Brotherhood linked (SJP/WOL) “demonstrations” . They are the main core.
