Protests Disrupt DNC Convention in Chicago

Pro-Palestinian protesters breached security walls and disrupted events at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, demanding an end to U.S. aid to Israel and calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. Demonstrations included chants of 'Free, free Palestine' and 'Killer Kamala,' targeting Vice President Kamala Harris. Notable figures such as Cornel West participated, emphasizing the need for the U.S. to reconsider its support for Israel. Protesters stormed a welcome event stage, accusing the Biden-Harris administration of funding genocide. Protests are expected to continue throughout the week with a heavy police presence ensuring security. Despite the protests, Sen. John Fetterman, a vocal supporter of Israel, has chosen not to attend the DNC.
