“Terrorists, Anti Semitics and Useful idiots take to Chicago streets to protest Israeli defensive airstrike in Gaza”. There CBS, I fixed it for you. You’re welcome.
When you chant “from the river to the sea” people aren’t going to listen to you or care about your protest.
And why is this news worth.

Please pack your S*#t and head to Gaza. This country has a different history and relationships in the middle east. They clearly do not align with your thoughts…so…again…pack you crap and head out.
They don’t have to go to Gaza. The could go to Jordan, or Egypt, or Saudi Arabia or..Oh wait, they cant as no other Arabic country, save Iran, will allow them.
