The pro-Israel rally in D.C. was vital to convey to elected officials that there is a solid pro-Israel majority, but the media as expected is doing its thing.
Rally organizers had confirmed that 290,000 people passed through the metal detectors and tens of thousands more were left outside. That number is more impressive when you consider that there are only millions of Jews in America. Not tens of millions. Probably only 4 million or so committed Jews. Maybe less.
Out of that population, as much as a third of million blew off work and headed to Washington D.C. on a workday. Arguably the largest number of American Jews to gather publicly.

It was the largest rally in the history of American Jewry.
Organizers told me that 290,000 people were confirmed to have come through the metal detectors.
It looked like tens of thousands more didn’t have the required wristbands to get past security. pic.twitter.com/pPv4A6ns02

The media insisted on claiming that only tens of thousands showed up and provided less coverage than they did to hundreds of anti-Israel protesters.
This bias is as obvious as it is inevitable.
The AP has put out its wire stories falsely claiming that only tens of thousands attended.
In sharp contrast to the pro-Hamas ‘ceasefire’ rallies, there were no arrests and no fights with police officers. And no monuments defaced.
This was the majority of American Jews and Christian supporters being heard. Expect the media to go on amplifying the voices of the tiny minority of IfNotNow extremists in favor of killing Jews.
This is America. Opposed to it are the enemies of America and Israel.

MSM has been blatantly hyping anti-Israel and pro-Hamas stories as if it was a popular movement, instead of gutter journalism stirring up trouble.
Our Nations M.S. Media has become notorious for faking the news we saw that through four hears of Trump and he M.S. Media gutter level tactics then they wonder when we no longer trusts them
The Forth Estate (or the Fifth Column, if you prefer) puts their agenda first and America last. It’s SO bad right now that one can’t even tune in for a minute to see how the MSM is covering the conflict without being hit with a grenade of propaganda within the first 15 seconds.
There is good news in all of this. While their leftist bias has been visible for many decades for those of us who’ve been paying attention, even more people are recognizing it now as undeniable. More unmasking.
I popped into a pharmacy last week to pick up a prescription for my wife and an elderly woman was sitting there with what appeared to be her grand-daughter, probably waiting on a prescription as well. As I walked past them to go to the window, I overheard the elder saying to the younger, “Oh no, honey. You’re wrong. You don’t mess with Israel. They’re God’s chosen. Never forget God’s promise to them in the book of Genesis.” She was probably referring to Genesis 12:2,3 “And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curseth thee: and in thee shall all of the families of the earth be blessed.”
For every leftist member of the media, there are a hundred of us who know what they’re “preaching” is wrong, like this dear woman and the 290,000 that showed up on the Mall.
Withholding information is a form of lying.
Obviously, the truth is that the media is not interested in truth.
Just hours after the rescue-the-hostages, end-anti-Semitism and help-Israel-live rally, all 51 democrat senators proceeded to vote against the house bill that would have immediately given 14.3 billion dollars in aid to Israel. Biden was saved the trouble of vetoing it.
This rally, truly beautiful and good – this plan A – along with exhaustive attempts to meticulously explain Jewish history and the divine moral ethic is a total failure.
Zero impact.
This approach is an old plan, a pre Holocaust plan, a pre State of Israel plan, a plan ridiculed in the UN and given lip service by the very members of Congress who spoke at the rally and then voted against Israel.
But there is a plan B.
I call it Exodus 2:
For all the hostages, Israelis murdered, kidnapped, wounded and traumatised forever, all of America’s and the entire diaspora of Jews should make aliyah and bring their beautiful souls of light and goodness to Israel, with all their wealth, talents, all the precious children, our greatest blessing, to finally live free in their true homeland.
Jews can go home again.
Then let the rest of this hateful world deal with itself.
Guilt and moral imperative in the aftermath of the Holocaust in the non Jewish world is no more.
What lives on is hatred that was not incinerated in the crematoria.
Pastor Hagee in his remarks
at the rally said that his people were not there for Israel during the Holocaust, but they are now, and forever. May that be so. They will save America and be blessed.
In the meantime, let Jews come home where God wants us to be. Why pick a fight with God?
We say to the world:
let the hostages go
God, through Moses, said to Pharoah:
Let my people go
And every Jew not living in Israel should now say:
Let myself go
The current news has engendered much talk about eschatology in Islam, Judaism and Christianity. The land is owned by God and given exclusively to the Jews and it is no accident that the Jewish heart yearns to return there.
I try to read and study the Scriptures daily and dearly love what we Christians call the Old Testament. I see the last ingathering of the Jews as one accomplished by the Lord Himself (Isaiah 11: 11 – 12; Hosea 11: 8 – 11 and many other places).
At the moment of Jesus Christ’s death, the veil of the Temple (behind which was the Ark of the Covenant and the golden cherubim) was miraculously torn from top to bottom. It is no accident that many of the first Christians were almost all Jews, and many of those were priests and pharisees.
During his earthly ministry, Jesus prophesied the destruction of the then-standing Temple, which Jesus proclaimed He Himself would rebuild (John 2: 19 – 22). I have come to see this as the New Covenant spoken of by Jeremiah 31: 31 – 34; Ezekiel 34:25; Ezekiel 36: 7-15; Ezekiel 37: 21 – 28; Isaiah 42:6; Isaiah 59:21 and many more.
I would love to see all the Jews in joyful return to Jerusalem and the Temple rebuilt. All attempts thus far have failed. “Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain; unless the LORD protects the city, its watchmen stand guard in vain.” – Psalm 127: 1.
Start every day with a glance at the BBC and CNN web pages for an update on the latest anti-Israel reporting. The hate these organizations exhibit is beyond belief. And so, of course, is their content.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
—Martin Niemöller, German Lutheran Pastor
Thanks for reporting this Daniel. There are millions more supporters of Israel in America and Around the World too. The bullys and liars with an anti-Israel agenda, who are anti-semetic themselves, want to gain all the attention and deceive people into thinking that Israel doesn’t have support.
AP sux. America, generally, has a New England Yankee problem.
So, Daniel, want an idea for a blog point–or even an article? The Scottish National Party and Israel. If you mention Scotland, you might even mention Attenborough and his organization, though that might be tad…scary…to take on. I wonder where he (they) is in all of this.
I won’t hassle you if you decide not to even post this comment!
I’ve had things to say about SNP over the years
“The media insisted on claiming that only tens of thousands showed up and provided less coverage than they did to hundreds of anti-Israel protesters.
Unless they mean 30 tens of thousands, they’re clearly trying to minimize the significance of the event. I can tell you, as I was there, it was wall to wall people from 9th Street eastward, and little room even on the grassy sides. And there were heavy crowds in the public areas west of 9th Street too.
Even though the rally was a local story for it, The Washington Post didn’t cover the story on its front page today. I believe The New York Times didn’t either.
MJ, it always feels to me like a mistake for TOO many Jewish people to return to Israel for this reason:
You’d be putting all your eggs into one basket.
What if ALL the surrounding Arab muslim nations did what they have not tried to do since 1973–band up together and launch a fast-strike assault directly into Israel?
The US stupidly sells lots of advanced arms packages to Saudi Arabia and its allies. Also Egypt.
This isn’t 1973 any more. The hi-tech weaponry the muslims could throw at Israel today could be truly devastating.
Sure, Israel MIGHT hold onto its current track record of kicking muslim armies hard to the face as they attack and driving them back out.
Is it worth gambling your entire world-wide populace over it?? Trust in God is awesome, it is LIFE. Yet “Do not put the Lord your God to the test.”
With Iran seemingly bound to get nukes (still waiting for Israel to bunker-bomb that idea back a few years), again why put ALL your people into one small area??
You seem pretty split atm in populace between (middle) East and West. Sounds like a good strategy to stick with.
Just sayin’….
Israel–buildings etc–could be rebuilt.
Dead human beings can’t.
What you are saying is proven in the Purim story. The entire Jewish population, forbidden to return to their homeland and forced to remain in exile in the Babylonian and ultimately the Persian empire, was threatened by a lazy, drunken king and his energetic, antisemitic vizier. The Jews were saved by a miracle in the form of a Jewish woman who was the king’s favorite wife and the queen of the land. If it had not been for her heroism, the vizier’s well-laid plan would have gone into effect, but she told the king about it and asked that the Jews be permitted to defend themselves. And defend themselves they did. The next king, Cyrus, allowed the Jews to return to Israel and even gave them back the Temple vessels. He is venerated by the Jews to this day. But that experience in Persia taught us that we ought not put all of our eggs in one basket, as bad things can happen to that basket. We’re better off in different places for the time being, until the Messiah comes and leads us back to a land that will need no defense, as it will be so obviously owned and protected by G0d.
Minimizing the number of demonstrators in favor of Israel is an echo of minimizing the number of Jews murdered in the Holocaust. Another echo that is heard is to trivialize the Holocaust by saying that everything is a holocaust. Two of the weapons of anti-Semites are denial and trivializing.
The same AP whose reporter, carrying a hand grenade. was accompanying the hamas butchers, is lying about the numbers. Is this surprising?
The Washington Post didn’t bother covering it on the front page or in Section A. It relegated its coverage to the Metro Section. Our media are garbage.
In 2006, during the Israel-Hezbollah conflict, AP got caught Photoshopping in plumes of smoke over the Beirut skyline in their news photos to create the impression that Israel was recklessly bombing civilians … The lying anti-Israel / anti-Jewish media con artists haven’t changed one iota in 17 years since …
