Under the banner of United Against Antisemitism, about 2,000 activists gathered in the heart of Beverly Hills on Sunday May 23 to show support for Israel amid the recent war that saw upwards of 4,000 rockets fired from Gaza on Israeli cities and towns before a ceasefire was declared on May 20.
The boisterous, flag-waving crowd composed of Israelis, American Jews, Christians and non-Jews of various denominations, was addressed by community and political leaders, writers, activists, political commentators as well as a pro-Israel teenager and former Miss Iraq, Sarah Idan.
