Nearly 300,000 Rally in Support of Israel in Washington, DC

In a historic demonstration of solidarity, nearly 300,000 people gathered in Washington, DC, Tuesday to support Israel and call for the release of hostages held by Hamas. This massive rally, organized by Jewish Federations of North America and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, took place against the backdrop of the US Capitol. For a detailed report on this significant event, read the full story on The Media Line’s website.

The event, designated as a “level 1” security event by the Department of Homeland Security, was marked by high-profile speakers and entertainers. Participants chanted “Bring them home!” referring to the nearly 240 hostages. American actress Debra Messing and Israeli President Isaac Herzog were among the prominent figures addressing the crowd. The rally also saw participation from representatives of the Hispanic Christian community in the US, emphasizing the broad support for Israel.

The demonstration comes amid a rise in antisemitism in the US, particularly on college campuses. Sabrina Soffer, a student at George Washington University, described the campus environment as a “hate fest” against Jews. The rally attendees called for “No cease-fire” and emphasized the importance of freeing the hostages.
