Carl von Clausewitz said war is politics by other means, but Israel just wants the war part — and Biden is happy to be dragged down with it.
On Tuesday, Chicago's Jewish community celebrated Israel declaring its independence 76 years ago, on May 14, 1948. Pro-Palestinian demonstrators gathered across the plaza. There were a few altercations, but no arrests were made.
The flags, along with signs and banners, had been placed on Deering Meadow, where a pro-Palestine encampment stood for five days before organizers reached an agreement with university administration.
Protesters' demands have focused on divestment — demanding universities cut ties with Israel and businesses supporting the war in Gaza.
