Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters march on DNC near United Center, rally in Union Park

There was a Chicago protest Wednesday. Thousands marched on the DNC, or Democratic National Convention, and gathered for rallies in Union Park.

Palestine 🇵🇸 and Israel 🇮🇱 6, 000 year old conflict not America's business!

Amazing the effort American citizens go to for another country yet arent protesting about the political war going on in their own country

[chrissyp]

Why don't they just fly over there and help Palestine fight since they care so damn much? 🙄🤦

[rsellers]

If you're looking for peace, then perhaps you should protest against Hamas and tell them to release the American Hostages and stop blaming our leaders for what Hamas did.

[DuckmanYaHeard]

So peaceful, lol, draw a cartoon of Muhammad and see what happens.

[lisarogers]

IF YOU ARE FOR ONE SIDE AND NOT COMPLETE PEACE YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM

[mandibarcena]

Move to Gaza already! Why waste your time protesting in the USA, when the fight is in Gaza?

Walking is healthy. Good cardio exercise. At least them folks will get that much out of this. But that'll be it.

[leonericasalas]

pro Palestine must go to Gaza and continue your protest rally there. ..if you wanted to be heard.

[leechild]

They allow foreign protesters to be there only to cause disruption? Why!?

[judydelpriore]

It just doesn’t seem like another countries problems should be our business so they should go home and complain about it not here

[rubelaw]

You looking for peace you looking for quality... like trump said just go

[justoneman]

Any Palestinians not condemning Hamas and demanding release of hostages will have nothing to say that I’m interested in listening to.

[AmusedCoffee-ymgb]

Can we travel to Tailand to protest american police brutality?

[brooks]

And you better believe these dumb activists will still vote blue come November.

[stevestovall]

It shows total ignorance to support terrorists posing as victims

[DejaunWright]

I love how the media makes it seem as if self-policed protests are new. The only reason why this protest was so peaceful was because the police were being watched and didn't want the bad reputation of being confrontational on their name at such a high level event... Remember what happened last time they did that... 1968 still rings as part of their legacy.

I will never understand these kinds of crazy. You wanted to protest for another country conflict, while your own country and people are struggling and women's rights are stripped. Instead of protesting for your rights and fighting against corruptions or he'll, questions why our people are so miserable and quick to be angry all the time. Yall pick the DNC event to protest for a country that doesn't give 2 cents about our lifelyhood. I will never understand this level of tone deaf.

[Dusty-eu]

If your looking for peace mind your business and stay fucking home live your life be happy and appreciate your freedom that you have here in America

Lousy journalism. You mean rioters not protestors.
