Authorities were seeking "multiple unknown female offenders."

Chicago Police and the FBI are investigating if saboteurs placed bugs in a breakfast buffet prepared for delegates at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday.

“Multiple unknown female offenders are alleged to have entered a building…and began placing unknown objects onto tables containing food,” the convention’s information center said in a statement. “The offenders are believed to have then left the area. One victim was treated and released on-scene. Along with CPD, FBI-Chicago is assisting in the investigation.”

    Theres plenty of room to argue that

    1. No US presidential candidates are involved in genocide
    2. While there’s a huge atrocity/humanitarian crisis in Gaza, genocide implies an intent that’s not there
    3. Hamas started it and are the legally elected and internationally recognized government - they invaded a foreign country, killed over 1,000 civilians, kidnapped hundreds as hostages, and assumed they could just leave safely.

    No one can argue the horror being inflicted on Palestinian civilians, nor the scale of that horror, but it’s not as black and white as you make it seem by throwing around loaded terms like “genocide”, nor is US directly involved, nor can we necessarily intervene in another country’s affairs

      Any country that intentionally restricts access to food, medicine, and portable water to a population it finds inconvenient is a government intentionally committing genocide.

      Biden literally fast tracked arms and funding to Israel. As well as all the warships and other direct military support being offered.

      America is literally the sole reason Israel continues to act with impunity.

      And this genocide has been going on long before Hamas, they didn’t start shit.

      To pretend America is not deeply involved in this affair is the most ignorant brain dead take possible.

        There’s been a deal with Israel since 2016. Israel is fighting after a terrorist attack. They’re doing your genocide, blame them. Weird how nobody blames Israel, instead they want to blame the Democrats??? Laughable.

        This isn’t working, you’re not helping your cause, in fact you’re just pissing people off that do care and would do something. Hmmm, maybe you know and understand that and you want the genocide so this is your way of making sure it happens? Is that true?
