Charges will not be filed against the man who fired a gunshot into the air near pro-Palestinian demonstrators outside an Israel solidarity event in Chicago’s northern suburbs, prosecutors said Monday evening after determining that he acted in self-defense. A group of about 200 pro-Palestinian protesters had rallied Sunday evening outside a banquet hall in Skokie, where people were gathered to show solidarity with Israel, according to police.
“Palestinians, whether at protests or living their daily lives, are being attacked.” He accused pro-Israeli political leaders in the U.S. of inflaming tensions. “Not only do we have to work 24 hours a day to help educate the American public,' he said, but 'we also have to defend our community from physical attacks on their lives,” he said.
