NEW YORK (JTA) Hundreds of people rallied for Israel in New York City days after a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, and following a string of antisemitic assaults and harassment in the United States.
The demonstration on Sunday in downtown Manhattan, organized by the Israeli-American Council and other pro-Israel organizations, principally featured traditional messages of supporting Israel, and speakers asserted that Israel and Jews in New York City faced a common enemy.
“We are here today against terror, united against terrorism,” said Tal Schuster, one of the event’s organizers, in a speech. “We do not accept any type of terror, not in New York, not in Israel, not anywhere in the world.”

Crispin Achola, is the managing director, British American Tobacco, East Africa. He loves words, seeing that he writes them down, mulls over them, before he launches them in conversations like missiles of intellect.
Articulate and poised, Achola has had stints at Kimberly-Clark Corporation, BAT (1999 to 2017) including cluster managing director Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Malawi and Managing Director Sudan.
Surprisingly, for the nature of his office, he comes alone for the interview. No handlers. And he reminds Jackson Biko: “We are going to talk about myself, right?”
Do you smoke?
No. But I can smoke a cigar now and then. As a typical young adult, I tried cigarettes but it wasn’t something that stuck. There isn’t any particular reason why I don’t smoke. Some people smoke cigarettes, some people don’t.
