As police finally clear the anti-Israel encampment at the University of Chicago, and Northwestern University appeases its protesting occupiers, the Democratic National Convention set for August in the Windy City ticks ever closer.Β
Unsatiated protesters may have been cleared from some of their camps at college campuses, but the more lucrative target of national Democratsβ gathering to renominate President Joe Biden has many worried that the protests may only be getting started.
Although the two Chicago universities caved weakly to the strange demands of the anti-Israel protesters, Biden has not been well-received by the pro-Hamas youth.
The agitatorsβ slapping Biden with the nickname βGenocide Joeβ and their joining pro-Israel protesters at UCLA and University of Alabama in chants of βFβ Joe Bidenβ led many to suspect that stormy weather is in store for a left-wing political convention that is little more than three months away.
Bidenβs unpopularity with radical groups on the political and cultural Left has been largely attributed to his attempt to βsplit the babyβ by backing Israel in its war against Hamas while criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuβs methods, placing conditions on aid to Americaβs biggest Middle Eastern ally, and sympathizing with anti-Israel and pro-Hamas protesters.
Hamas terrorists invaded southern Israel on Oct. 7, slaughtering 1,200, torturing or raping many first, and taking over 200 hostages. Ever since, the Israeli military has targeted the adjacent Gaza Stripβwhere Hamas is the elected government and uses civilians as shieldsβwith the goal of βeradicatingβ the terrorist group.
The Biden administration has warned Israel not to invade Rafah, the southern region of the Gaza Strip bordering Egypt, where the last four regiments of Hamas are believed to hold dozens of hostages, including five American citizens.
Anti-Israel protesters have set up encampments on public and private university campuses around the nation, often trespassing and vandalizing on campus as well asΒ intimidating, obstructing, and entrapping Jewish students.Β
Although the published rationale for these protests varies from encampment to encampment, most center on the rage of left-wing students that their university is doing business with businesses that do business with (or appear to do business with) Israel.
Protesters at the University of Chicago and Northwestern demanded full-ride scholarships for Palestinian students, HIV tests, medical supplies for treating combat wounds, dental dams, Plan B, and other contraceptives.
Northwestern reportedly βpaid offβ some protesters by agreeing to give scholarships to five Palestinian students and special pay to Palestinian staff for two years. School administrators also agreed to reestablish an Advisory Committee on Investment Responsibility that would allow students and staff to shame the university officially for accepting βIsraeli or Israel-adjacent endowments,β and to allow protesters to continue their encampment until at least June 1.
Now Northwestern is facing a lawsuit and two civil rights complaints over concessions to the leaders of theΒ anti-Israel encampments. The plaintiffs claim that Northwestern failed to βfulfill a modest core promiseβ to students that all βstudent peers and faculty will be governed by rulesβ by looking the other way when certain groups participated in antisemitic harassment.
Although the encampment at the University of Chicago was cleared by police Tuesday morning, students and faculty members have proclaimed their willingness to be arrested while βprotesting for Palestine.β
Given the inflammatory support for these anti-Israel protests from far-left House Democrats such as Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Andre Carson of Indiana, and Pramila Jayapal of Washington, itβs unlikely that organizers of the Democratic National Convention would be able to discourage these anti-Israel protesters from setting up camp outside United Center for the duration of the convention Aug. 19 to 22.
One need not look back too far to recall the upheaval at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, when Vietnam War protesters tangled with police was upheaved by protesters against the Vietnam War.Β
At the time, 56 years ago, Illinois Gov. Samuel Shapiro, a Democrat, honored a request from Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, also a Democrat, to deploy the Illinois National Guard to help provide convention security. It is unlikely that todayβs mayor, Democrat Brandon Johnson, would ask for the Guard to be deployed.
In a press conference Friday, Johnson told reporters that βindividuals who wish to demonstrate β¦ work within parameters.β But the mayor declined to outline what βparametersβ meant, or whether he would request police or Guard assistance.
If such a protest turned out to be as violent as the βSummer of Loveβ in 2020, in which entire city blocks were burned by Black Lives Matter-inspired rioters, then this Democratic National Convention could turn very nasty very quickly.
Last month, representatives of 75 organizations gathered in Chicago to plan disruptions at Augustβs convention.
Joe Iosbaker, a leader of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, told a screaming crowd: βThis is Chicago, [expletive] it, weβve got to give them a 1968 kind of welcome!β

An influential left-of-center donorβs charity has launched an initiative compelling other philanthropies to pour money into voter-mobilization efforts for this fallβs elections.
Democracy Fund, foundedΒ and funded by liberal philanthropist Pierre Omidyar, hasΒ rallied 174 organizations and individuals pledging to expedite disbursement of grants related to get-out-the-vote operations and other efforts.
The pledge called on signatories either to make the bulk of their election-related donations by the end of April, to βmove upβ disbursements scheduled for later in the year, or to streamline grant approval processes.
Alex Sorosβ Open Society Foundations, the liberal dark money giant Arabella Advisors, Tides, and Democrat megadonor Susan Pritzker are among the major left-of-center philanthropic players to sign the pledge.
Omidyar, who founded eBay and has become a prolificΒ investor, is worth over $10.9 billion,Β accordingΒ to Bloomberg. Omidyar gave roughly $1.2 billion through various charitable arms to an array of primarily left-of-center causes between 2004 and 2020,Β accordingΒ to a Capital Research Center report.
In 2020, OmidyarΒ gaveΒ the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a sprawling Democrat-aligned political outfit, $45 million to support its Civic Action Fund project, aΒ now-defunctΒ voter-turnout initiative thatΒ focusedΒ on βempower[ing] those typically underrepresented in our democratic processβ by ensuring they voted in 2020. The group collaborated with liberal politicians and activists to organize local get-out-the-vote efforts targeting low-propensity voters,Β accordingΒ to Influence Watch.
In explaining his donation to Civic Action Fund, Omidyar cited the importance of βsupporting local voter outreach and engagement of young people and people of color.β Young people and minority voters favor the Democratic Party by considerable margins, with voters 18 to 29 and all nonwhite constituencies favoring President Joe Biden by double digits in 2020,Β accordingΒ to a CNN exit poll.
Civic Action Fund was active in 14 states, including the key states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, during the 2020 election season, according to its website. The group had staffers with ties to notable Democrats such as former President Barack Obama and former Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, accordingΒ to Influence Watch.
Many of the signatories of Democracy Fundβs βAll by Aprilβ pledge have clear ideological slants.
Alex Soros, son of influential liberal financier George Soros, hasΒ describedΒ himself as βmore politicalβ than his father.
ArabellaΒ managesΒ a network of nonprofits that pours tens of millions into liberal causes every year.Β
TidesΒ comprises a variety of organizational arms, including one of the largest pass-through organizations for liberal philanthropists. And Pritzker hasΒ donatedΒ millions to Democratic and otherwise left-of-center political committees.
Arabellaβs nonprofit network and the Soros familyβs philanthropic ventures have dropped large sums on election spending.
Arabellaβs nonprofitsΒ spentΒ more than $62 million on voter registration and mobilization efforts during 2022, a midterm election year.
Much of the Arabella networkβs spending also focused on getting Democrat-friendly demographics to the polls. New Venture Fund, one of Arabellaβs arms, gave millions to the Voter Registration Project, a group βcommissionedβ by veteran Democratic operative John Podesta that,Β accordingΒ to Influence Watch, βtargets African-American, Latino, Native American, low-income, and other voter groups likely to lean left-of-center.β
The Soros philanthropic empire alsoΒ gaveΒ millions to the Voter Registration Project between 2016 and 2022. The projectβs efforts in 2020 netted Biden between 1 million and 2.7 million votes,Β accordingΒ to a Capital Research Center report.
Open Society Policy Center, part of the broader Soros network,Β gaveΒ $1.4 million to the Voto Latino Action Fund in 2022. The organization focuses on registering Latino voters and loosening voting laws,Β accordingΒ to its website.
High voter turnout among Latinos was among the reasons Democrats outperformed expectations during the 2022 midterm elections,Β accordingΒ to Politico.
βVoter registration nonprofits are nothing more than a cost-effective way to achieve partisan electioneering results for Democrats while keeping the donors totally anonymous and giving them a tax write-off for their troubles,β Parker Thayer, an investigative researcher at Capital Research Center, previously told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Democracy Fund, Arabella, Tides, and Open Society Foundations did not immediately respond to the DCNFβs requests for comment.
