   [1]supportflag 
   It was [2]organized in two weeks,

   [3]beautifulday 
   ...we were lucky enough to have spent hours standing outside on a
   beautiful day

   [4]crowdscene 
   ...and there were lots..

   [5]crowdscene2 
   ..and lots..

   [6]crowdscene3 
   ..and lots of people there. More than 35,000

   [7]Judith, David, Martha, Loretta and I met in the city. When we got
   to the rally, we met Amy and Pamela Hall. Pamela of Atlas Shrugged was
   also there, (and she got some [8]wonderful pictures) but unfortunately
   we didn't cross paths. Rona got there a few minutes late, but at that
   point the crowd was so huge, the police were asking people to stand in
   an alternate space on 2nd Avenue.

   [9]schoolkids 
   Schoolkids were enjoying their very extended lunch break

   [10]christians 
   Lots of Christians were there, carrying signs that said "Christians
   United for Israel" on one side and "On Women's Rights Israel Is
   Right".

   [11]antiun 
   Great sign. Just wondering - is this the [12]same person who was
   [13]expressing dissent here?

   [14]shofar 
   The Rosh Hashanah tradition of Shofar trumpeting was out in full
   force. Wll, okay, I didn't know that these horns were called Shofars,
   nor did I know about the Biblical history of it until Martha explained
   it to me. It's an interesting [15]story.

   [16]forward 
   We tried to move forward to hear speakers like Israeli Foreign
   Minister [17]Tzipi Livni, John Bolton, Alan Dershowitz and Curtis
   Sliwa, but at about this point we couldn't go any further.

   [18]speakout 

   [19]ivorycoast 
   The Ivory Coast was also represented. Just another anti-genocide
   message that the UN will ignore.

   [20]netureikarta 
   The Neturei Karta, a small anti-Zionist orthodox group, held a counter
   protest a few blocks down. Most people only saw them when they were
   going home..

   [21]reaction 
   ...this was their reaction..

   [22]response 
   ...and this was one man's response
