People of all backgrounds gathered in our nation’s capital earlier this week to stand for Israel and its people. Praise God!
From The Daily Signal. Hundreds of thousands of men and women flooded the nation’s capital on Tuesday for the March for Israel and demanded the return of hostages captured by Hamas.

According to estimates from the rally’s organizers, the Jewish Federations of North America and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, an estimated 290,000 people attended the march in person and 250,000 more watched online.
Some of those attending the rally traveled from Israel to spread awareness about the deadly Hamas terrorist attack on Israel that took place on Oct. 7. The Daily Signal spoke with Anat Shoshany, a young woman who said that Hamas brutally killed her grandfather and kidnapped her grandmother.
Shoshany, who says she was in Tel Aviv at the time of the terrorist attack, emphasized the importance of storming heaven with prayers for the safe return of her grandmother.
“I don’t get to be sad,” she said. “I don’t get to cry. I need to fight.”

A young man who spoke with The Daily Signal said that he is a survivor of the Nova music festival attack, at which Hamas terrorists used hang gliders to enter the festival and slaughter concertgoers.
“You can’t imagine what actually happened there,” he said.
“Only God helped me there.”

Many young people attended the March for Israel. The Daily Signal observed many groups of students and families. One young man attending with his high school said that there were 500 students from his school alone attending Tuesday’s march.
Though pro-Palestinian protesters appeared to have marked up the portable restrooms with graffiti saying “Gaza” and “free Palestine,” few anti-Israel demonstrators were at the march.
One anti-Israel protester could be heard shouting “Heil Hitler” at apparently Jewish attendees. His gesture caused those around him to gasp in horror and to strongly condemn such language.

Unlike most of the pro-Palestinian or anti-Israel gatherings in Washington, New York, and other cities around the U.S., most of the March for Israel attendees did not cover their faces.
Anti-Israel demonstrators at campus protests have said that they cover their faces fearing detection by federal agencies and authorities. At one candlelight “Vigil for the Martyrs” that The Daily Signal attended at George Washington University, organizers encouraged reporters for The Daily Signal to hide their faces to avoid detection.

Americans support God’s chosen people no matter what!
Lord Father God I ask that you be with Israel. I ask that you give the IDF wisdom, communication, and Unity. Father God I ask that you will let them see who their Messiah is and come to Jesus. Amen and Amen.
Thank.k you for these brave Jewish people who didn’t even hide their faces. Bless Israel with victory and salvations for both Israel and their enemies.
Yes the apple of God’s eye.
We pray 🙏 Israel and America. God gave land of Israel to the Jewish people
I am thankful, LORD, that you protected those who attended the rally. I ask that You would pour out on those who attended a spirit of repentance, recognizing that the primary issue is not political, but spiritual.
I pray for a miracoulous deliverance and escape for the hostages like God did for Peter. Also, may the Hand of God move on the IDF, Benjamin Netanyahu and the Knesset for wisdom, guidance and peace, strength and mercy. I pray that our country will always stand behind and support Israel, our ally and friend. Thank you for sharing these testimonies and bless those that were able to attend this wonderful rally in Washington. Blessings to all.
Praise God.The more people stand up for the truth,the more the lies are exposed.May the Lord continue to bring deliverance to the Jewish people and like king David,Victory will come forth with a shout.Our God reigns.Amen and amen.
Every word out of Biden’s mouth is a lie. Biden’s press secretary had to have come out of a test tube marked LIAR. Everything they say is false witness against the American people and the world.
Thank and praise God Americans need to stand up for what’s morally right in the eyes of God whole nation was founded in God we trust there’s only one God Amen. Amen.
Praise God! He is in control. He is protecting Israel in their time of need. We pray, Lord, for a safe return of all of the people being held hostage.
Thank you, Lord Jesus.
I was one of many who prayed for protection over the March for Israel. Psalm 83 is a forever prayer. https://biblehub.com/psalms/83.htm
“Anti-Israel demonstrators… cover their faces fearing detection…”
V16 Cover their faces with shame, that they may seek Your name, O LORD.
A young man who spoke with The Daily Signal said that he is a survivor of the Nova music festival attack… “You can’t imagine what actually happened there,” he said.
“Only God helped me there.”
V1 O God, be not silent; be not speechless; be not still, O God.
Thank You for Your protection at this march Abba Father. Once again I remember the timeless words of Psalm 83. You see the enemies raging. You see them scheming and conspiring against Your cherished ones. They don’t have the authority to destroy Israel as a nation or destroy the sons and daughters of Israel who live around world. The little horn, which we call the media, reports there is no love for Your people outside of Israel. This little horn, also called the UN, would possess for their own the “pastures of God.” I pray You will pursue, terrify and shame everyone included in this thinking until they seek Your Name. May they know that You Alone, whose Name IS THE LORD, are Most High over all the earth. I ask this and so much more in the Powerful Name of Jesus, Yeshua, Isa, who is Messiah, Mashiach, Masih. Amen
Thank you for promoting &hosting this gathering this manner for believers in God & freedom to give us a voice in our national population. May God bless us & protect all who love & approve of how our fore-fathers persistence, and fought AND prevailed in this endeavor. Bless you all
…faces covered like the KKK…but His Light reveals and exposes the darkness. Shalom Jerusalem! The Spirit and the Bride say come…
Praise God and remember God is in control and He See’s everything.
