WASHINGTON Hundreds of people stood outside the U.S. Capitol on Sunday wearing blue hats that said #NoFear as they called for unity among Jewish people and their allies to stand against a rising number of antisemitic incidents across the country.
The event, called No Fear: A Rally In Solidarity with the Jewish People, drew speakers including Elisha Wiesel, a business executive and son of Holocaust survivor and Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel, and Meghan McCain, a daughter of the late GOP senator John McCain of Arizona. Many attendees held Israeli flags as they stood in the heat.
