Pro-Palestinian organizer condemns Dems ahead of March
Ahead of a pro-Palestinian protest starting at noon, organizers said democrats have “aided and abetted” a “genocide,” citing Israel’s actions in Gaza.
Hatem Abudayyeh, a lead organizer of the March on the DNC, called Israeli attacks on Gaza “the Vietnam War of our generation” and said the place to be Monday was at the Union Park demonstrations, not inside the United Center.
“All the top democrats are complicit,” Abudayyeh told a massive crowd of reporters and cameras gathered for a news conference.
“They are responsible. We will hold them accountable. Make no mistake, Joe Biden could tap off that stream of money immediately,” he said.
