Tensions flared at the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago as party divisions were laid bare in a public display of intra-party conflict.
The incident occurred just as Joe Biden took the stage, when a group of attendees unfurled a large banner reading “Stop Arming Israel” in protest of the regime’s continued support for the Israeli government.
Fake news WaPo reporter Dylan Wells reported that Democrat delegates tried to obstruct the protest banner using their “We Love Joe” signs before the DNC dimmed the lights above the protesters and had them removed from the convention.
First protest I’ve seen inside the arena: a banner reading “stop arming Israel.”
Delegates blocked the sign with the “we Joe” signs and the convention hall turned off the light spotlighting the section as the protestors were removed. pic.twitter.com/6XYaCk6XwF

Reporter from Zeteo News, Prem Thakker, also described the chaotic scene: “Audience members at the DNC in Chicago unfurl banner that says “Stop arming Israel.” After audience sees the banner, they begin chanting “We love Joe.” Man tries to rip banner away. Stadium lights over this spot then dimmed and banner was ripped away.”

The protest was short-lived, as convention security quickly escorted the man who initially held up the flag out of the venue, but not before the banner was forcefully ripped away by fellow attendees.

Activist Lauren Steiner, who was involved in the protest, later wrote on social media, “Here’s the sign we made. We penetrated their tightly controlled, hermetically sealed Hollywood coronation show, despite them delisting and intimidating ceasefire delegates.”
