    The young man in the very first picture, with defaced forehead and apparently ready for a medical exam involving throat cultures. Is he supposed to make us proud?

    Shame on the Agudah for not co-sponsoring this rally. The OU did as did Nat. Council of YI. This was rally billed as NY stands by Israel. There were 10,000 people there. There should have more. Why were there no “forum” camps there. Only Zionist camps. Just shows how irrelevant the Agudah has become. Israel is waging a PR war in addition to a ground war. This was way more important than a rally against the internet, which everyone uses anyway. I would post this on the Agudah web-site but they don’t have one. Shame, shame, shame.
