Thousands of Israeli Americans, Jews and supporters of Israel are mobilizing and uniting across the country standing in solidarity with the Jewish State and against terrorism, after the historic Hamas terrorist massacre in Israel.

Rallies have been taking place coast to coast and organized by the Israeli-American Council (IAC), partnering with a range of Jewish community organizations. At least 900 Israelis were murdered and more than 2,600 wounded in the worst mass murder of Jewish civilians since the Holocaust. The Hamas terror group also took approximately 200 people – including elderly women and children – hostage into the Gaza Strip.

Under the banner, “Stand Up Against Terror. Stand With Israel,” rallies began taking place Sunday in Las Vegas and are continuing from Seattle to Boston through the week.

Communities hosting rallies Monday included Austin, Texas; Boston; Houston, Los Angeles, New Jersey; Orlando, Fla.; Portland, Ore.; the San Francisco Bay Area; Seattle. Rallies were also held in Atlanta; Orange County, Calif.; Philadelphia; San Diego. Other rallies are expected in Chicago; Colorado; New York City; Rochester, N.Y.; and South Florida.

“We stand arm in arm and shoulder to shoulder with our brothers and sisters in Israel in total solidarity and unwavering support,” said IAC CEO Elan Carr, who is the former U.S. Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism.

“Like any sovereign country that has suffered such a brutal and inhuman attack, Israel has the inalienable right to defend itself fully, completely, and decisively and to eliminate the threats facing its citizens.”
