The U.S. Palestinian Community Network National Coordinating Committee was meeting in Chicago when word came of the Iranian drone and missile strike on Israel.
The reaction was about what you’d expect. When the executive director of the committee, Hatem Abudayyeh, made the announcement, wild cheering and clapping were heard.

No worries. As long as Iran is trying to kill Jews, the activists are A-OK with the fanatics in Tehran.
“Twelve days ago, Israel brazenly hit an Iranian embassy compound in Syria, violating international law again,” said Hatrem Abudayyeh. “Iran has just responded around thirty minutes ago.”
“They’ve sent drones and missiles against specific targets in occupied Palestine,” said Abudayyeh. “In addition, there are reports of drones being fired from Yemen and Iraq.”
