Organizers: 200,000 Attending Yesha Rally
21:50 Jan 30, '05 / 20 Shevat 5765
(IsraelNN.com) Yesha Council officials, the organizers of the ongoing rally opposite the government complex in Jerusalem, are reporting over 200,000 persons are taking part in the protest against the government’s Gaza Disengagement Plan.
News agencies are reporting different numbers, over 100,000 (Ma’ariv) and 130,000 (Ha’aretz). Israel Police has not yet released an official number.
Unless Israel's government agrees to hold a referendum on the unilateral forced evacuation of Jewish communities, the legitimacy of this move by legislative fiat will be forever in question.
I think that eventually Prime Minister Sharon will have to conclude that he has no choice. At least, that's what I fervently hope.
