Rally in Washington 11/14/23

[yelped]

Yeah. I’m on a group with someone on that flight. Waited on the tarmac for 2.5 hours and now deplaned and are taking Ubers

I'm confused. Where do bus drivers come in to a plane?

What's a dud?

The rally. There's no one there!

Where are you?

[sddd]

The rally. There's no one there!

are there any preliminary estimates?
IMO 100k is a critical number. More wont register unless its 500k and less doesnt pack the same punch.

The Palestinians can get 100,000 any time, but we Jews can barely put together 20,000.

[yitzgar]

What makes you say 20,000?

Plenty still coming

So far news is estimating at 200k, so not sure what's up. Maybe the news are counting Hamas-style.

200k from organizers (who prob have some tab on busses etc)

[Shmueli]

Aaaand we have our first public (media) complaint about a religious speaker. The Reform Union and AmericNs for Peace Now both voiced concern about John Hagee.

This is why you leave this 100% political, with zero religious involvement. People can't get along.

Because Reform will be upset, we can't have a Rabbi speak at a Support Israel event?

Nothing political about that.

CLE alone federation said 1,742 and that's just on their busses

In Detroit or DC?

The plane is in DC, and from what I understand it was a chartered flight with buses that were supposed to take people directly from the plane to the rally, but then all the bus drivers walked out on the job.

Hey, whatever helps free Palestine, right ?

[skyguy918]

Scratch that, they must've just shuffled the order. Thought maybe they were just trying to claw back some time, but seems like they're not worried about when they end.
