I documented the 290,000 people who rallied in support of Israel on the National Mall in Washington DC, working on assignment for Washington Jewish Week, Baltimore Jewish Times, and the Philadelphia Exponent.
A bipartisan show of support was made by U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, House Minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, and Senator Joni Ernst. Also pictured are former refusenik Natan Sharansky, ADL chief executive Jonathan Greenblatt, and Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt.
The protest was large and peaceful.
An extensive digital photo essay is online at Washington Jewish Week here (beginning on page 7).

A small group of Neturei Karta, a fringe ultra-orthodox Jewish sect, were the only counter-protesters visible.
Thanks to editor Aaron Troodler for the assignment.
