2007 Salute to Israel Day Parade

Yesterday was the 2007 Salute to Israel Parade. It went from 55th to 79th Sts on 5th Ave. For those who don't know, this was to celebrate the independence of Israel, which it got in 1948. On a sidenote, I was marching in this parade with a group known as Taglit Birthright, a group that brings Jewish college students to Israel for the first time. The first lenght had those who were against it, but the rest of the way was pro-Israel. Here are the pics over at AMNY, and please do not turn this into an Israel-Palestine thread. If I can find more pics, then they will posted here.

Nutrei Karta also live in Israel.
The group was formed in Israel (or Mandated Palestine) and started creating branches. It is an offshoot of the satmar movement.

I think there is more NK members in Israel than in the US/Europe and so forth...

In Judaism you have to respect everyone. Its an evolving religion and one which can reform or turn very stringent with rules and customs..

i say whats in the heart... and i think he should not call them cancer.

Alot of Satmars are for Israel, but are against what the secularism is doing to historic foundations.... they are treated as if they are anti-israel. Some are. Some arent..

but lets focus on the Israel day parade :) this one was actullay one of the biggest

I will never forget those people who claim that Israel has 12 tribes, not to mention that I told them that what they were claiming was false for being Israeli-born, which wouldn't surprise me if they weren't.
It turns out the NY Liberty were at the Israeli Day Parade, and click here for the article.
