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:
Josh Kraushaar (@JoshKraushaar) ~ Big SCOOP @J_Insider via @matthewkassel: "Pro-Israel group struggling to gain permit to rally at DNC — while pro-Palestinian groups got green light."

Least surprising news ever.
The Democrats are only going to allow their favorites to march outside of the DNC ...
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.
Notwithstanding the undeniable FACT that Jewish demonstrations have been peaceful, but the pro-Hamas demonstrators have been prone to violence. Go figure, eh?!
Marcus (@texm98aolcom1) ~ My fellow Jews flee the DNC: the Jews in the Democratic party are sell-outs, period.
They sure are.
mallen2024 (@mallen20243) ~ No surprise. It's the pro-Hamas party, now.
Yep.
Ben June (@benjune) ~ 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'.
One of several Jeff Goldmans (@TheJeffGoldman) ~ 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.
And an openly Socialist Democrat at that.
The hell-hole known as Chicago is a Democrat plantation.
As we've speculated elsewhere, Chicago is gonna be lit later this month. Probably literally.
Pradheep J. Shanker, M.D. (@neoavatara) ~ Tell me again that the Democrat Party isn't leaning toward anti-Semites?
Can't, because they are.
Sunny (@sunnyright) ~ 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.
There's no highly nuanced examination needed. They're anti-Israel.
Scott Greenfield (@ScottGreenfield) ~ When you wonder why no one is marching for Israel, remember this.
And remember who was behind it.
duke (@onlyhardtakes) ~ 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, so it doesn’t matter.
Sure feels that way.
