DC Rally: America Stands with Israel

Thousands from Greater Washington gathered at Freedom Plaza in Washington DC on July 19 to show their solidarity with Israel.

Thank you Greater Washington! Our community came together at yesterday's rally to declare that America Stands With Israel. Thousands of you stood in the sweltering heat to show your unwavering support for Israel. As Israel is fighting a war against terror on two fronts; as three of Israel’s soldiers are being held captive by terrorist organizations; and as cities in Israel are under constant attack from rocket fire; our community speaks with one voice in support for the Jewish State.
