That speaker may also have been trying to get himself accepted by the angry crowd. This reminded me of the Jews in Soviet Russia who went along first with Lenin’s attempt to eradicate any Jewish (and other forms of) Zionism by cleansing Yiddish of “jargon words from Hebrew” and who in spite of their efforts to be good Jews were executed by Stalin when they no longer proved useful. “Most signs were saying: Israel terroriste” and the person speaking just then identified herself as a Jew.”

Thousands of people packed 42nd Street to support Israel in its defense against the terrorist Hamas. Israel has a right and an obligation to protect its citizens from the rockets that are being shot everyday into there settlements. Hamas has no consideration for freedom, peace, or even the security of their ownn civilians. This message of freedom was heard today.

Le petit nombre de manifestants pro-israel n'est pas significatif: une majorité de canadiens soutient Israël et comprend les raisons de l'attaque contre le hamas, sans avoir besoin de le crier dans la rue (d'autant plus que le gouvernement, comme l'opposition officielle, tient un discours qui convient à la majorité silencieuse). La passion -la haine- qui pousse les foules se trouve plutôt chez les ennemis d'Israël, ce n'est pas une surprise. Salutations. salut noga,

A pretty depressing affair. It was very cold today and it is Shabat, so I guess these factors may account for the poor show. We had to go around the pro-Palestinian rally, in order to get to the pro-Israeli one. Most signs were saying: Israel terroriste" and the person speaking just then identified herself as a Jew. "The life of an Arab is of the same value as the life of a Jew" she was saying in French. From the part we saw, it didn't seem an angry type of rally. Nothing like the reports that I've been reading about similar protests in Europe or even in the States.
