Our government picks winners and losers, and they're absolutely biased in doing so. Here's an interesting report from Jewish Insider about who can and can't get a rally permit for the Chicago DNC:
Big SCOOP @J_Insider via @matthewkassel: "Pro-Israel group struggling to gain permit to rally at DNC — while pro-Palestinian groups got green light"https://t.co/t14EWe0X5d

Least surprising news ever.
Here's more from Jewish Insider:
For several weeks, the City of Chicago has been sitting on a request from a pro-Israel group to hold a solidarity march during the Democratic National Convention, even as it has granted permission for a coalition of pro-Palestinian activists to demonstrate when the proceedings kick off later this month.
The Israeli American Council, a nonprofit organization representing Israeli-Americans that seeks to strengthen ties between the U.S. and Israel, filed two applications with Chicago’s Department of Transportation at the beginning of July, according to Aya Schechter, the group’s chief programming officer.
But with just under two weeks remaining until the convention, the IAC has yet to receive an answer from the city, despite following up via phone and email.
The group was also denied a permit for a 'stationary demonstration' near the convention, because it would create 'public safety issues' per the rejection letter.
Back in May, we told you how Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has no intention of stopping violent protesters from disrupting the DNC, but stopping Jews is apparently okay.

It's the pro Hamas party now.
Yep.
That's right.

Anti-semitism is free speech, but anti-Palestinianism is Hate Speech.
That's how it works. To the Left, speech they don't like is 'violence' and violence they engage in is 'free speech'.
Well, that’s pretty anti first amendment-ish.

Kinda seems that way.
Why does a single Jew still vote Democrat unless he or she is in on the grift? https://t.co/wkScblTIrb

It's a fair question to ask.
Now why would the city of Chicago grant a permit for an anti-Israel match in front of the Dem convention hall, but not a similar permit on a different day for a pro-Israel march?

Hint: Chicago is controlled by Democrats. https://t.co/zuQBogz7ut
And an openly socialist Democrat at that.
This is a big deal https://t.co/Qq8zZVrHL8

A very big deal.

As we've speculated elsewhere, Chicago is gonna be lit later this month. Probably literally.
Tell me again that the Democrat Party isn't leaning toward antisemites? https://t.co/yuZxwe2HMh

Can't, because they are.
For the people doing highly-nuanced forensic examination of what Harris meant when she talked about being open to an Israeli arms embargo.

The DNC is welcoming pro-Palestinian groups and trying to keep out pro-Israeli. https://t.co/Bmhl4EL8s3
There's no highly nuanced examination needed. They're anti-Israel.
When you wonder why no one is marching for Israel, remember this. https://t.co/rF5YDgDAqF

And remember who was behind it.
I’m beginning to think American Democrats are making the same calculation politicians in #England have seemingly made. They no longer need the constituency of traditional bases, like Jews or native British, because they’ve imported enough Muslims it doesn’t matter. https://t.co/YEa1Xmx6vg

Sure feels that way.
