US Jews rally in support of kidnapped teens

WASHINGTON – Hundreds of Jews, Israelis, and pro-Israel supporters gathered Wednesday outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C. to demonstrate their support for the three teens abducted in the West Bank.



The Israeli Ambassador to the US Ron Dermer participated in the protest, as did Democratic House members Ted Deutch and Eliot Engel.

AKA Hamas is responsible for this terrorist act as they are also responsible for the massacre of teenage Jews at the Dolfinerium disco in
Tel Aviv.

From the OP :
Engel, the House representative from New York's 16th district, told the assembled protesters that he would not allow the US to fund the Fatah-Hamas unity government. His colleague from Florida's 21st district stressed that "these are out boys" and that unity was needed to end terrorism.

to posting a separate thread for each individual article about a group of Jewish people in each different place around the world?

Why not simply make a 'round-up' thread linking to all of the various groups rallying for the kidnapped teens, rather than thread after thread basically saying the same thing but with a different geographic location?

Does the topic bother you? They all different Rally's held by Jewish communities all over the world.

Is there a shortage of bandwidth that I am wasting in IP.

This is the 1st time I have seen you posting in our group and yet you feel it your responsibility to come in and tell regular posters how we should post in our group?

Welcome to IP.

I asked a question and offered a suggestion. I've noticed your posts scrolling down the latest post list all day, with little changing other than the location, so I asked the question, and made a suggestion based on how I've seen other similar issues covered on other blogs I've frequented.

Does it 'bother me'? No. But I doubt I'll return to the 'IP' if 'regular posters' in it start out by making accusations and throwing passive-aggressiveness at anyone who dares to step 'inside' and ask a question.

.

You found a group where half the people try desperately to delink the "Jewish" from the Jewish State and so it's important to show how Jews all over the world are rallying for our kids.

We even have a non Jewish anti Zionist member of this group who thinks that she speaks for all the Jews and none of the Jews here in the group speak for themselves.

So you landed in some dysfunction here in this group and so with that in mind I apologize .
