Pro-Israel Rally in West Boca: Video and Photos


A “pro-Israel” rally was held today (or is still being held at this writing) on Glades Road near Boca Rio and the Florida Turnpike. We’ve embedded a brief video from it, above, and have some pictures further below.
The rally was apparently organized in response to a protest yesterday in the same location. We described that on Facebook yesterday as “anti-Israel” protest. Some criticized us for that characterization and we’ll respond shortly in an editorial.
Here are a few pictures from yesterday, thanks to readers:

We weren’t planning on going today, but a storm ruined our relaxing afternoon at the pool. So we stopped by around 5:30 pm. It had obviously rained there as well. We’ve seen reports that there were as many as 300 people in attendance, but we did not see that many. The rain and lightning may have diminished the crowd.

We have been told there will be another pro-Israel rally tomorrow, again in the same location. Today’s was promoted by Boca Raton Synagogue. Tomorrow’s looks like it’s by Chabad.
