Protests Intensify at Democratic National Convention

Pro-Palestinian protests have intensified at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, drawing thousands of demonstrators. The protests, which included burning American and Israeli flags, have called for a cease-fire in Gaza and criticized U.S. support for Israel. More than 70 protesters have been arrested amid violent clashes with police. The Uncommitted Movement delegates at the DNC, representing 700,000 voters, have expressed skepticism about Vice President Kamala Harris, urging her to adopt stronger pro-Palestinian policies. Despite President Biden's call for a cease-fire, protesters and delegates alike demand concrete policy changes. The protests have disrupted multiple DNC events and are expected to continue throughout the convention.
