“Photos: 'March for Israel' draws thousands in Washington,
D.C.”
Tens of thousands of people took part in a rally in support
of Israel on Tuesday in Washington, D.C., where security was tight and emotions
were raw amid the ongoing war against Hamas. Called the “March for Israel,”
U.S. lawmakers, including Sen. Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Mike Johnson,
addressed the crowd on the National Mall. "We will not hide in the face of
adversity," Schumer said. Israeli President Isaac Herzog spoke via video. “No
one will break us,” Herzog said. “We will rise again.”
The FBI and Department of Homeland Security designated the
march a “level 1” security event, the “highest classification in its system and
one usually used for the Super Bowl and other major events,” according to the
Associated Press.
Federal law enforcement agencies sent a joint bulletin to
their counterparts in Washington warning about the potential for violence or an
attack inspired by the Israel-Hamas war, the AP reported, but said there were
no specific threats. Busloads of pro-Israel supporters from cities like New
York City and Cleveland arrived hours before the march, with many carrying
signs, waving Israeli flags and chanting, “Never again.”
Organizers said 60,000 people were expected to attend the
rally, easily the largest pro-Israel gathering since the deadly Oct. 7 Hamas
attack that killed more than 1,200 people and during which more than 200 others
were taken hostage, according to Israeli officials. Israel’s retaliatory
attacks in Gaza have killed more than 11,000 people, according to the Hamas-run
Health Ministry.
^ Now this is the America I want.
One that stands-up
against the ever-increasing Anti-Jewish Attacks going on Worldwide - including
within the US - and those who praise and
support the Hamas Terrorists. ^
