Close to 10,000 people took part in the solidarity rally in support of Israel and Operation Cast Lead opposite the NYC Israeli Consulate on Sunday. The event, located at 42nd Street and Second Avenue, drew many supporters of Israel despite the frigid temperatures.
According to NYPD, the rally, which was cosponsored by UJA Federation, the Jewish Community Relations Council of NY and an array of other organizations drew many public officials who felt compelled to speak out in support of Israel at a time when there is a growing anti-Israel sentiment in many countries.
Among the notables addressing the event was US Senator (D-NY) Charles Schumer, who defended Israel�s right to defend herself, standing by the humanitarian efforts being exhibited by the IDF, explaining Israel has repeatedly stated that "Hamas is the enemy, not the Palestinians living in Gaza?. His comments were mimicked by other speakers as well.
