This
afternoon, July 13, 2014 the Los Angeles Jewish community and
pro-Israel people stood together is a solidarity rally
for Israel in front of the Federal building. The rally was organized by
StandWithUs [to stand with Israel] organization. They, mostly Israelis
living in the USA, showed up on hundreds, waving Israeli flags, some
carrying all sort of slogans on plaques; they
sang Israeli songs and shouted pro-Israel slogans and listened to many
pro-Israel pep-up speeches. What was lacking is the American Jews, in
significant numbers and the rabbis. WHY are they shying away from
supporting Israel one wonders? Across from the rally
stood some Arabs waving a “Palestine” state flag and plaques with
‘Nakba’ and ‘hudna’ written on them. The police watched in large
numbers, the crowd was excited but peaceful and two hours of solidarity
with Israel is a good way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
