National Jewish organizations are calling on Jews from around the country to travel to Washington, D.C., on Nov. 14 for a mass pro-Israel rally they hope will rival major Jewish demonstrations in 2002 and 1987 in size and impact.
The March for Israel has three goals, according to Eric Fingerhut, CEO of Jewish Federations of North America, which is organizing the rally jointly with the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.
Participants will be demanding the return of the estimated 240 hostages Hamas terrorists abducted during its Oct. 7 attack on Israel, Fingerhut said. They will also be calling for efforts to combat antisemitism, which has spiked worldwide since the attack. And they will be demonstrating their support for the unabashed backing Israel has so far received from both parties in Congress and the Biden administration.
“All three elements are important to all of our communities,” Fingerhut said. “We’re proud of what our government has done” to support Israel “but we want them to know how much support there is not only for what they’ve done, but also for the continued efforts that are going to be needed as this long conflict continues.”

Hire security, and lots of it. Closely vet those security guards too. Don’t rely on any company guarantee.
People you would never expect to be pro-Palestinian/ anti-Israel are coming out of the virtual woodwork lately.
They're gonna have to amend the Constitution or half the population will be awaiting treason trials in overcrowded jails
On a Tuesday ???
Whew, thank God evil middle-aged Legacy White Americans aren’t marching. Might get imprisoned in federal confinement for taking selfies after being waved into the Capitol by Capital Police. Must be nice that other groups can protest without repercussions.
Will participants be charged with insurrection or trespass?
Don’t Hire Ray Epps as a Security Consultant.
I might be going. Our synagogue wants us to go. I will not be in the mood for some yahoo to injure me, so what protective gear would you FReepers recommend?
Bring a baseball bat.
I'm not an expert. But this is what I found through a search on Google.
I’m not very experienced being a participant in that kind of march. In general, Id say wear something with long sleeves in case someone decides to suddenly grab your arm and disrupt the peaceful procession. Wear a hat or cap. Anything, to cover the noggin, in case someone decides to throw a rock or a froxen can of soda
. Wear comfortable walking shoes, but no sandals. Too much a trip hazzard. Dont carry much in your hands. Dont bring anything you may worry about getting lost or broken. If youvhave a backpack, It must be light and flexible.
Nothing precious or too personal stored inside.
If a verbal confrontation begins, try to have a friend recording the video or take a picture.
There might be a prohibition of bringing backpacks, as weapons or explosives could be hidden in them. I'll wear my fanny pack with my phone inside. If needed, I can photograph or video stuff with that.
I see trouble brewing.
You think so?
