Meeting in Support of Israel Held in Kharkov
20.01.2009
"Yes – Israel, no - Hamas!" Such exclamations could be heard at the Constitution Square, where the Jewish community of Kharkov held a rally against the war in the Gaza Strip and terrorism.
The aim of the protest action, organized by the Kharkov Orthodox Jewish religious community, was the moral support of the Israeli people.
During the rally, which gathered around five hundred people, the participants paid tribute to those Israelis and Palestinians killed in the war with a minute of silence.
The Palestinians are going to hold a similar rally these days. They have filed an application to the mayor's office, as reported by Polyemika correspondent.
