Both Israeli and New York officials marched in the Israel Day Parade in New York City this weekend to show that the “people of Israel aren’t alone,” reports JNS:

The dozens of ambassadors to the United Nations, who marched among released hostages and their families, injured soldiers and other supporters of the Jewish state, sent “a clear message,” according to Danny Danon, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations. “The people of Israel are not alone.”

“We are in pain. We are thinking about the hostages,” Danon stated. “But we know that we will prevail. We will win this war. We will bring back all the hostages.” …

“So great to, once again, march side-by-side with our Jewish community at the Israeli Day Parade in Manhattan,” the New York City mayor stated. “This event is more than just celebrating the bond between our city and Israel. It’s about sending a strong message: hate and antisemitism have no place in our city.”
