Journalist present at 'anti-war' conference recalls chilling reaction to Iran bombing Israel: Visibly 'elated'

A journalist who was present at an "anti-war" meet-up in Chicago recalled the chilling reactions of the group after learning that Iran had attacked Israel over the weekend.

Olivia Reingold, a staff writer for the Free Press, attended the conference Saturday where she said an organizer of the event taught members chants in Farsi translating to "Death to America" and "Death to Israel."

After learning that Iran launched a barrage of more than 300 missiles and drones at Israel, the group erupted into cheers and applause. Reingold said on "Fox & Friends" Tuesday that they were visibly "elated" as chants of "Hands off Iran" broke out.

"Twelve days ago, Israel brazenly hit an Iranian embassy compound in Syria, violating international law again… and Iran has just responded about 30 minutes ago," the speaker told the group, according to video.

"In addition, there are reports of drones having been fired on Israel from Yemen and Iraq as well," the man said.

Again, the room erupted in cheers.

"At first, this man, he kind of stumbles up to the mic, and he wipes sweat from his forehead, and I think he is going to say, like, someone has died or something," Reingold told Fox News host Steve Doocy. "But then he reveals that missiles are headed towards Israel, and the crowd erupts in cheers. People were elated and the chant that you heard spontaneously broke out after he was done speaking."

The group included members of March on DNC 2024 and Anti-War Chicago.

The man speaking also called on the group to take action, saying that "this country and the world needs us," adding the United States is going to "'defend' the criminal Israeli state."
