We’ll might have a little more when we do our regular updates tonight overnight, but for now it doesn’t seem like anything unexpected happened. Organizers are putting the numbers at 200,000, with more realistic estimates hovering between the 100,000 number that Ha’aretz is going with and the 150,000 number that JPost is reporting:
One Jerusalem has an interview with Effi Eitan, who then went on to speak at the rally. They’ve also got some other links up, including some background on Netanyahu’s position and an interview they did last year with Israeli Reservists who protested the conduct of the military operations in Lebanon. Critical background.
