Israel solidarity rally
takes to the Web.
0
neFamily Fund, a nonprofit orga-
nization that helps victims of ter-
ror, has planned seven simultane-
ous rallies around the world at 5 p.m. EDT
Thursday, March 20, to show solidarity with
the people of Israel.
The rallies will be broadcast live on the
Internet, starting in Sderot and moving
around the world, creating the first-ever
global cyberspace rally to support Israel.
Jews on every continent will be able to
participate by simply logging on to www
together4israel.org, a Web site created espe-
cially for this event.
Lawyer and author Alan Dershowitz and
Canadian human rights expert Irwin Cotler
will kick off the evening, on the holiday of
Purim, with the residents of Sderot and
those who have been wounded.
"The world needs to know that Jews
everywhere support Israel's right to defend
itself,' Dershowitz said. "We're starting in
Sderot because the people there live under a
constant barrage of kassam rockets, but our
message is that terror cannot be tolerated
from anyone, not from Hamas, not from
Hezbollah and certainly not from Iran."
"OneFamily Fund is encouraging every-
one to log onto this event and be counted
amongst the supporters of Israel," said Marc
Belzberg, OneFamily Fund chairman. "Send
a message to everyone in Israel that 'we in
the diaspora care about you.'"
The opening event in Sderot will be fol-
lowed by a stop at the Western Wall to say
tehillim (psalms) with Chief Rabbi of Israel
Yona Metzger, then on to the Chief Rabbi of
England at his synagogue rally, and then to
New York City, broadcasting from Kehilath
Jeshurun synagogue. The broadcast will
then jump to the Simon Wiesenthal Center
in Los Angeles, where Rabbi Marvin her
will speak, together with local dignitaries
and Hollywood personalities, and then to
Australia.
The entire broadcast rally will be live and
last one hour.
