Don’t stand in American land, breathe its air, go to school on student aid, live off on American welfare systems and speak for other countries. If you have balls, take them overseas and speak for them! Don’t be a hypocrite by demanding peace for other countries by disturbing our peace and tranquility. Get off American land!
THERE GOES THE KEY TOWARDS TRUMP FOR THE WIN, THAT ALLAN LICHTMAN WAS SO AFRAID ABOUT LOSING, IN REGARDS TO CIVIL INSTABILITY
The problem with the Democratic Party is that Biden as well as Harris work exclusively for the military establishment but not for anyone else.
Just Walk Away.

No use for the Democratic party anymore
The difference between then and now is that we are not in this war. I actually find it hilarious that these kids think that Israel cares at all what they think about anything. No one in the Middle East is going to change anything because of those protesters.
And this is all the evidence you need that Dems are not the party of America
Imagine being a Chicagoan who needs to commute and work downtown. This interruption of life due to ignorant ideology should be enough to point to reality.
Liberal freaks. Wonder if they even know all the details of Oct 7.
WHAT?? LEGAL ABORTION?
these bozos wearing masks are hilarious, they will wear the covid masks forever
Kumbaya jamboree.
THIS IS REALLY SAD GASLIGHTING BY NBC. SO SAD THESE BIDEN BUTT LICKERS ARE KICKING HIM OUT SINCE HE WAS THE BEST THING FOR AMERICA AND AFGHAN WOMEN, NOW UNDER TALIBAN RULE DRIVING U.S. TANKS.
Leftwits “discover” working people?
Lol.
I day ago news? Is this going to be like "Hunters Laptop?" Will we hear about it years from now?
Why is msBSnc not reporting on this today? Why are the cameras not outside as well?
What the first thing they do is build a wall to keep unwanted people out? Hypocrites!
Nothing changed. They have a better accent, but they still support 9/11 Hamas / ISIS. Anything that will destroy the US.
TRUMP2024 ❤️🤍💙
DNC FILTH
God Bless Israel 🇮🇱
Oh you want Palestine to be free? Please elect the MAGA guy!
The DNC doesn't care about what they're protesting for. Why don't these idiots understand that?! What's going on in Palestine has nothing to do with us so get a life!
Tell me how Progressive Socialist Harris! Who brought us Inflation, 2 Wars, 10 million Illegals, Crime Up, Fentanyl Up, Black on Black Murders Up, Gas Up is even polling at 1%???
Did the trillion dollar inflation reduction act do anything for you? Not Me! How about the 10 million unvetted Illegals again not me…
Weak pathetic people protesting in favor of their own enslavement.
These people have been disrupting college campuses for months and nothing happens. Now they will convict them when they protest the DNC. The justice system is messd up!
funny how latinos are building fences in chicago 😀
The lefties think the DEMs will legalize abortion. They have had many opportunities to pass legislation since Roe Wade. But NO WAY will they make abortion legal under Federal law even if they have majority in both houses and the white house. We know this because they would loss it as a campaign "stir them up" talking point.
Im so confused over all this, can someone please help explain the significance of this conflict and why we should care? It seems like the media really wants people divided on both sides and are using this conflict to push it, but there are conflicts and genocides all over the world. And what good does protesting on a campus or outside a building about it do besides bring in more media attention. If America stops funding the war then what… everyone just goes home and becomes friends. I’d love to hear about atleast five instances where Americas refusal to fund conflicts truly lead to peace.
can you tell me one vote dems pick has I can tell you zero amercia has had no choice in this is a commy take over gag a magot on a gut wagon
God said in the Bible that he would bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse her. God has kept that promise. Stand by Israel!
Are they protesting Comrad Kamala or acting as diversion to draw cameras from the psycho-clown show inside?
"Gays for palistine."
…they are joking, right?
Do they think Republicans will protect Palestinians better than Democrats?
Designated protest zones 🥴 forget that we have free speech anyway anytime
These are the supporters of the DNC ,is this the real image of America,or just the rude minority of America.
Its up to the presidents in those countries thats fighting to cease fire
Free Palestine and usa from Zionist. First amendment lets me criticize Israel and Zionist. Judaism is not Zionism
Israel's war against the genocidal Hamas group in Gaza has exposed two flaws within US society. It has emboldened conscious anti-semites to emerge from the shadows, most visibly in the Arab nationalist population of immigrant USA. It has also proved the interesting fact of systemic anti-semitism, most visibly in the privileged liberal "woke" population of legacy USA.
Lefties against lefties. Not left enough.
Do you THINK they would be this aggressive, to protect TRUMP? DON'T THINK SO. Also NBCis JUNK
They must be getting paid
I see a lot of confused people who need Jehovah God and his son Jesus in their lives. I will love and pray for you all as there is a hope and future coming in which all our problems will be gone.
The looney tunes are out in force this week
Lefties are all Twits
Never at the RNC…wonder why??
You voted Harris and Biden in office and now you’re complaining? You still might vote again for them so get what you voted for. Under Trump this never would have happened. It’s discusting.
ALL BLACKS ARE COMING OUT FOR TRUMP
Trump will make israel wrap it up. So if you want a ceasfire vote red. Blue will get you ukraine/iraq/afganistan.. biden and dems were a major part of all of it
