UJM, has it ever occurred to you that there is a reason people protest? That they aren’t just fools with nothing to do? The original post literally have six reasons why it’s important: 1) to counter the many pro Hamas rallies. 2) it’s a kiddush Hashem to all come out together. 3) to show support for Israel. 4) to stand against anti-semitism. 5) the politicians will be watching. 6) the world will be watching. Would you notice the difference if 35000 showed up to the Siyum Hashas instead of 25000? The larger the number the more people notice and take note. Politicians care about public opinion. Thousands of pro Hamas rallies are taking place. We can’t do that. But we can have a massive rally where we show how much support for israel exists in this country and why they should care. US support for Israel saves Jewish lives. Aside for the fact that it’s a March of Jewish unity, an incredibly important aspect of these times, when our unified voice will play a vital role in our tefilot to Bore Olam. The fact that some of us choose to remain parush from the tzibbur and even belittle what they are doing is not a favorable way to stand before Hashem.
