It was much different than a pro-Hamas rally, as New York Sun publisher Dovid Efune noted:
-
Nobody was assaulted.
-
There were many American flags.
-
There was no racism or bigotry.
-
Nobody was hiding behind a face mask.
-
Concern was expressed for innocents on the other side.
-
It was bipartisan.
-
It was much, much larger! //
rally organizers had three goals:
The biggest pro-Israel rally since the October 7 terrorist attack by Hamas is expected to take place Tuesday on the National Mall in Washington, DC. Organized by the Jewish Federations of North America and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, the rally has three main goals:
MARCH for Israel
MARCH to Free Hostages
MARCH Against Antisemitism //
President Isaac Herzog of Israel spoke to the cheering crowd by video feed from the Western Wall in Jerusalem, telling them, “There is no greater and more just cause than this... Today we come together as a family, one big mishpachah, to march for Israel.”
Other politicians joined as well, including House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). //

mishpachah
Extended family, which captures the feelings of most Christians when we think about our Jewish brethren. Well-chosen words by Herzog.
Sadly, this is the thing that most of this nation's antisemites don't grasp. They look at Israel with their Marxist eyes and see an oppressor. They see a few million Jews surrounded by 400 million Arabs and actually believe that the tiny nation of survivors is the literal heir to the Third Reich. We look at tiny Israel and see the people who gave us our Christ. We see the people who God chose thousands of years ago, and has promised to redeem in His good time. We see plucky little survivors who've overcome the worst evils time and time again.
Our extended family indeed. God bless Israel, and God bless the United States of America. Lord knows we both need it.
