Chicago, Illinois – Rich Barnes and thousands of protesters gathered near the Democratic National Convention in Chicago to demand an end to US support for Israel’s war in Gaza. Protesters are calling for an arms embargo against Israel and an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. They accuse both Democrats and Republicans of having blood on their hands for the atrocities in Gaza, which they describe as a genocide.
Despite Vice President Kamala Harris acknowledging Palestinian suffering, protesters are disappointed that she has not promised any policy changes regarding US support for Israel. Many protesters, including Palestinian rights advocates and “uncommitted” delegates attending the DNC, are calling for a change in US policy towards Gaza and an end to the ongoing human rights abuses.
The protests in Chicago are highlighting the need for real action and change, with demonstrators vowing to continue their efforts until their demands are met. The Democratic Party’s support for Israel, despite the ongoing violence in Gaza, is being challenged by protesters who are determined to hold leadership accountable and bring about meaningful change in US foreign policy.
