Pro-Israel rally in Washington D.C on May 23
Cao's Blog has some details on a rally being scheduled on May 23 in Washington D.C to protest Ehud Olmert's (and Amir Peretz's) plans to expel Jews from their homes in the Judean desert (from newsletter sent out by Bernice Lipkin at Think-Israel). As they say here:
Others who've already posted about the rally include Israpundit, Blog Free, Smooth Stone, Israel and the Sin of Expulsion, Mystical Paths, Rafael B. Rabinovich.
Many of us feel this is a terrible idea. We want to demonstrate our disapproval, our outrage that the Israeli government is treating its Jewish citizens so shabbily, and our concern that Olmert is putting Israel in jeopardy.I tip my hat and smile in thanks. It's good that we have our supporters in the US who understand the situation. More details:
Jonathan Silverman (jonsilverman2002@yahoo.com; 718 304 3193) initiated a call for a rally and it struck a chord. The upshot is there will be a grassroots rally atAlready posted on my blog. Will try and let a couple of others know as well, if they haven't yet received the news.

I am writing you to help us let people know about this rally. Some people have already made arrangements to come in from out of town. Obviously, the more people show up, the more our disapproval of Olmert’s Convergence Plan will register with the Bush Administration.
We hope you publish this information on your website and send it to your email lists.
