Anti-War Activists in Chicago Taught Chants Against Israel and America

The activists were instructed in Farsi chants of hostility during a meeting aimed at disrupting the Democratic National Convention.

Activists in Chicago chanted 'death to Israel' and 'death to America' in Farsi during a meeting organized by the Anti-War Committee.
The chants occurred just hours before Iran launched a drone and missile attack on Israel, which was largely intercepted by Israeli defenses.
Organizer Shabbir Rizvi led the chants, explaining they could mean 'death to' or 'down with,' depending on interpretation.
The meeting also celebrated the Iranian attack on Israel and discussed plans to disrupt the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
The incident has sparked controversy, with several political figures and groups responding to the chants and the context in which they were made.
