News summary

Pro-Palestine protesters disrupted a welcome party for Democratic National Convention delegates in Chicago on August 18, demanding accountability from the Democratic administration regarding its support for Israel amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Demonstrators, part of a group called 'Delegates Against Genocide', are advocating for changes to the party platform, including an arms embargo on Israel and increased recognition of human rights violations. During the disruption, one protester accused the Harris-Biden administration of funding genocide and was escorted off the stage, while chants of 'Free Palestine' echoed from the crowd. Organizers plan to use the convention as a platform to amplify their voices, encouraging supporters to wear Palestinian scarves and carry flags. The protests are expected to intensify as high-profile speeches from President Biden and Vice President Harris approach. This week's events highlight the tensions within the Democratic Party regarding its stance on Israel and Palestine, as activists push for a more vocal and actionable position.
