LGF reader Susan was at the Stand By Israel rally at the United Nations today and emailed more than two dozen photographs that I’ve made into a slideshow: Stand By Israel Rally at the United Nations.
A cop I spoke to said there were about 35,000 people there which exceed the 15-20 thousand projected number. Two other groups were permitted to rally at Dag Hammerskold Plaza today, one being the Congo and the other a ‘pro middle east’ group [cop’s words]. He said only about 100 of the ‘pro middle east’ group showed up but they were NO WHERE to be seen. Streets were closed off, police everywhere, limos, sirens, lights. There were so many at the rally that they had to close off 2nd Avenue and keep the crowd on the other side of the street because the Plaza was completely full. Elie Weisel spoke and so did John Bolton and the wife of kidnapped Israeli soldier, Ehud Goldwasser.

I asked the mods if this can be moved into the "News" category. It seems to me this is BIG :)

Awesome slideshow. I'm heartened to see so many standing for Israel, and of course, against Madman Ahmad-jihad. GREAT signs!

It figures. And yesterday they covered the anti-war protests. Only about 1,000 people or less there for that one though!
