Pro-Palestinian demonstrators occupy U.S. Rep. Jan Schakowsky’s Skokie office; police cite seven for trespassing – Chicago Tribune/MSN

Hatem Abudayyeh, the chair of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network, said the group specifically addressed Schakowsky, who is the vice president of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, because of her “unbreakable” support for Israel, citing a statement signed by Schakowsky and other members of Congress stating their commitment to Israel is “absolute.” In Abudayyeh’s view, Schakowsky “can’t continue to call herself a progressive” if she keeps up that unilateral support for Israel.

A match made in heaven. The despicable and vile Jan and her equally loathsome husband Bobby “the felon” Creamer against the pro Palestine occupiers. I recommend rocket launchers at 20 paces.

It’s not like she’s going to lose her seat over this, she won by 43 points in 2022 in a district with the highest concentration of Palestinian haters in the Chicagoland area.
