Later, a small group of protesters, draped in black and walking to the beat of a drum, staged a mock funeral march on the same block of Fifth Avenue.

Saw this crew. What a wierd bunch. Took some pictures so my wife and oldest son can have a good laugh later on.

On Wednesday, 16 protesters lay down in a Fifth Avenue intersection, halting traffic for blocks before being carried into police vans.

Saw this too. The 16 were surrounded by about 200 onlookers yelling things like "Get a job," "Go to France" and "Remember 9/11." We also cheered when they were carted off in the paddy wagons.

There was also a contingent of American Jews (the protest was on the same block as the diamond district), who were waiving Israeli flags and chanting USA, USA.

Does anyone else find it odd how American Jews are very silent in our war effort?

No they are doing the right thing by being silent for the most part.

Does anyone else find it odd how American Jews are very silent in our war effort? Visible support by self-identified Jews would only encourage the notion that we are in this war for Israel's sake.

On the other hand, I'd like to see more Bush support from Jews.
