Thousands of Jews Rally Against Hamas in Britain
[Guardian-UK] Audrey Gillan - The sign taped to the front of 10-month-old Ezra Wiesenberg read: "The IDF don't hide behind me! Stop Hamas abuse of children shields." Strapped to his mother Ann's chest, Ezra and his family had traveled with thousands of other Jews to Trafalgar Square in London Sunday for a pro-Israel rally calling for peace in the Middle East but also supporting the Israeli government's actions in Gaza. The chief rabbi, Sir Jonathan Sacks, gave a message to Hamas: "Stop wanting Israel to die, start wanting your children to live. Why, Hamas, do you hold in contempt not only Israeli lives but Palestinian lives?"
