Demonstrators clash with police near the Israeli Consulate during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, August 20, 2024

DOZENS of Palestine solidarity demonstrators were arrested on Tuesday in a police clampdown during a protest that began outside the Israeli consulate in Chicago on the second night of the Democratic National Convention.

The confrontations began minutes into the demonstration, after some protesters were blocked from marching by the police.

They eventually moved past the officers, but were penned in several times throughout the night by police in riot gear who did not allow protesters to disperse.
