Israeli Bus Number 19 Arrives for a Rally on Capitol Hill on May 6

Terrorism Comes To Life in Washington, DC

Bus Number 19 Arrives for a Rally on Capitol Hill on May 6 www.bus19.org - On January 29, 2004, a homicide bomber boarded bus # 19 in Jerusalem and exploded, killing 11 civilians and wounding dozens more. Just three months later, on May 6th, the very same bus will touch U.S. soil for the first time in history when Christians for Israel USA holds a rally in support of Israel during the National Day of Prayer.

The rally, scheduled from 12:00 pm until 4:00 pm, will be held in front of Capitol building on the mall. The theme of the Rally will be "Terror, A one way ticket." At the rally, Christians for Israel will bring bombed out Israeli bus no. 19 and place it on display in front of our nation’s Capitol, where it will continue to be shown during much of the month of May. Speakers for the May 6 rally will include Carrie Devorah (sister of a murder victim on Bus 19), Gary Bauer, Rev. George Morrison, Rabbi Aryeh Spero, Congressman Butch Otter, Beth Galinsky, Conservative Journalist Ami Horowitz, Holocaust Survivor Lea de Lange, Dr. James Hutchens, Robert Stearns and many more.

The homicide bomber that brutally murdered innocent Jews on Bus Number 19 marked the 140th homicide bombing. Thus far, 577 people have been killed and 3,543 injured in homicide bombings throughout Israel.

“We hope this historical bus trip brings to light, from a Biblical perspective, the horror that Israelis face on their homeland on a daily basis,” said Dr. James M. Hutchens, President of Christians for Israel (USA) and a retired Brigadier General in the U.S. Army. “Many of the everyday activities we take for granted here in the United States – even something as simple as riding a bus – are literally life-threatening activities in Israeli daily life. Both Christians and Jews must stand together with the Israelis in their fight for freedom and peace.”

Christians for Israel will be taking Bus 19 on tour around the United States throughout the next year. We want to help Americans visualize the terror that Israelis face on a daily basis and to heighten the public conscience in regards to terror. Being able to come close to the bus, to look inside will remind people that this type of violence can occur anyplace, anytime, including right here in America. We hope it brings a refreshed understanding of the evil that the Jewish people and Israel face. This is important. Anti Semitism and anti-Zionism are being morphed together against Israel throughout the world. We need to make a united statement of our willingness to stand and support Israel.

Wow, everyone's legs must be real stiff by now, having ridden the bus all the way from Israel ;-)

The riders of Bus Number 19 wish their only complaint was stiff legs:

Welcome to FR.

Your link to the website doesn't work.

I think this is the same one you're talking about though.

No list on the website of cities they will be coming to. Any idea if they are coming to NYC. I will definitely go.

That bus was oppressing the palistinian people. It was self defense. Busses violate human rights. It is injustice agains muslims that Jews have busses for transportation and palistinians only have plastic sandals. Blah blah blah

"free men the world over — whether of the cross, the crescent, or the Star of David — will stand with Israel in defiance of evil." -Tom Delay

I'm not sure how many free men of the crescent there are. But there are some here in the U.S. and they are not standing with Israel. They are supporting evil not defying it.

Whether Islam is or isn't a "religion of peace is exactly as relevant as whether Shinto was a religion of peace in 1943.

It amazes me this world condemms Israel for killing terrorists.

The Arabs deliberately target noncombatants -- teens at a disco, families at a pizza parlor, old folks and tourists at a hotel Passover dinner, housewives in the marketplace, school buses, and the like. The Israelis deliberately target villains. Yassin and Rantisi each had the blood of hundreds of civilians on their hands.
