To the editor: Studying The Instances’ lengthy article on the upcoming protests deliberate for the Democratic Nationwide Conference in Chicago, I searched in useless for an evidence about why these “tens of hundreds” of demonstrators didn’t take their completely reliable issues concerning the Palestinians, reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights, police repression in minority communities, the remedy of immigrants and the state of our local weather to the Republican conference in Milwaukee final month.
Do they actually imagine that their issues are extra threatened by Democrats? Don’t the organizers know their option to Milwaukee?
How counterproductive to stage a spectacle of battle on the gates of the very political get together which may truly do one thing to ameliorate these injustices.
“I don’t really feel there’s something to lose,” mentioned Hatem Abudayyeh, a central organizer of the protest, in your article. How concerning the election in November? A GOP win could be one heck of a loss for all the things these teams care about.

To the editor: Studying this text stuffed me with despair. I keep in mind the Democrats’ 1968 conference all too clearly, and we appear to be headed in the same misguided course.
The professional-Palestinian demonstrators, with each good motive, are falling right into a lure that will properly result in the reelection of former President Trump. He has threatened mass deportations, and his backers have even talked about camps for immigrants.
Watch out what you want for.
