Leaders of four Muslim organizations say they're expecting upwards of 100,000 demonstrators to take part in a number of protests during the Democratic National Convention, many focused on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

CHICAGO — Leaders of four Muslim organizations say they’re expecting upwards of 100,000 demonstrators to take part in a number of protests during the Democratic National Convention.

Their push is to get President Biden to arrange a permanent ceasefire and work toward a Palestinian state before he leaves office.

“The president has failed once again to really bring peace and ceasefire. He was able to send quite a bit of weapons to Israel, 2,000 pounds of bombs, but he could not send crates of food and medicine,” said Oussama Jammal with the US Council of Muslim Organizations.

    It would be great if Biden actually could fix this instead of leaving it for Kamala, but I don’t think he has the stones or the stamina.
