Orit Eyal-Fibeesh, co-founder of the 7/10 Human Chain Project, said it was their hope that the event would serve as “a unifying force, bringing together friends of Israel from all walks of life”, and would provide a “much-needed boost to a community currently enduring immense challenges”.
Orit told the JC: “It's been nearly 100 days since the vicious attack on Israel, resulting in the tragic loss of lives and harm to thousands of citizens. Three months have passed since innocent civilians, some as young as nine months old, were captured by a terrorist organisation of the worst kind. Despite this, the streets of London are filled with hate towards Israel, often fuelled by ignorance.
“The Stand with Israel rally aims to call out to all Jewish [people] and Israelis, as well as friends and allies, urging them to stand with Israel as we hold our heads high, demonstrating our pride and unity in unwavering solidarity and support.
“The people of Israel are not alone, and together we will overcome Hamas and those who support it and bring our hostages home.”
