Celebrate Israel Parade - 2013

Today I attended the Celebrate Israel Parade in New York City.  It was wonderful and uplifting.  I spend far too much time reading all the horrible things the Israel-haters and the Jew-haters say.  Today was a day for sharing with the tens of thousands who support Israel.  You could feel the love.  Here are a few pictures I took.  I tried to get the unusual or the interesting.

I love seeing the flags waving as the marchers carry them up Fifth Avenue.  The United States flag together with Israel's flag.

So, I tweeted:

When I see all Israeli and American flags #togetheronfifth I remember how much #BDS also hates America.

In addition to the synagogues, federations and Jewish schools, I saw this group "Christians and Churches of NYC"

These dancers are part of a Cyrus-Israel friendship group:

Hey, look at that camel on Fifth Avenue!

In your face, QAIA. LGBT Jews and Allies Celebrate Israel.
