Protesters break through police fence near site of Democratic National Convention

P - Josh Weiner, co-founder of Chicago Jewish Alliance who walked with the pro-Israel group, said their intent was to “make our presence felt.” He said the group applied for permits that were not approved by the city.
P - “The pro-Palestine protesters have gotten multiple permits, including a march, which seems to be a little bit weighted on one side,” Weiner said.
P - Snelling praised police and march organizers for a peaceful Sunday night protest calling for abortion and LGBTQ+ rights and an end to the war in Gaza. Chicago police said two people were arrested on misdemeanor charges of resisting police and damaging property.

It looks the peace marchers worked harder for their permit than the pro-war people did.
Tens of thousands of anti-Israel protesters are planning to march near the DNC later this month

A pro-Israel group claims its requests to march near the Democratic National Convention later this month have been repeatedly ignored by the city of Chicago. All the while, they say an anti-Israel group has been given the "green light" to hold demonstrations near the event.
"It seems like we don’t have equitable access to whatever the other group was approved for," Aya Shechter, chief programming officer for the Israeli-American Council (IAC), told Jewish Insider. "We didn’t get any offer to do a march, not even in an alternative location."
The nonprofit organization which works to strengthen the relationship between the U.S. and Israel, told Jewish Insider it submitted two applications with Chicago's Department of Transportation in early July but has not received an answer, even after following up with their office.
The city previously denied a permit request filed by the IAC in June to hold a stationary protest within "sight and sound" of the convention.

KAMALA HARRIS SHUTS DOWN ANTI-ISRAEL PROTESTERS DURING CAMPAIGN SPEECH IN MICHIGAN: ‘I’M SPEAKING'

In the rejection letter obtained by Jewish Insider, the city claimed that because the demonstration coincided with the DNC, the IAC's demonstration would "create public safety issues" due to there not being "sufficient city resources" to "secure an assembly at the location for the dates and times requested."
The city offered the group an alternative location for the stationary protest at a park two to three blocks away from the United Center on the evening of the final night of the convention. However, the IAC rejected this offer, saying it was too far away from the convention.
The city of Chicago is also embroiled in legal battles with anti-Israel activists who seek to hold their own protests near the convention hall. A coalition of anti-Israel protesters filed a federal lawsuit against the city claiming their First Amendment rights were being violated after officials reportedly blocked their permit requests to march within "sight and sound" of the convention.
Last week, Mayor Brandon Johnson's office reportedly offered these protesters a route "adjacent" to the United Center where the convention is being held, according to the Chicago Tribune.

So liveimprisoned in whatever_ordie, the reality was not quite as you described.
The anti-war group actually went to court, and ended up getting a permit.
Damned if i know why both you and conix continue to refuse to repost with a link. Can only think the why has
to be at least something fairly described as defiant ignorance. Anyway, you likely haven't seen this yet either:
