Organizers: Global March to J’lem reached goals
Jerusalem Post:
Organizers of Friday’s Global March to Jerusalem said Saturday that the protest rally commemorating Land Day had achieved most of its goals, adding that the number of countries joining in protest activities is of greater importance than the number of participants in rallies.
Rabbis also take part in Land Day commemoration at Beaufort Castle, in the southern village of Arnoun, Lebanon, Friday, March 30, 2012.
Palestinian activists called for a Global March to Jerusalem to coincide with the 36th anniversary of so-called Land Day, and although there were rallies in Israel, police said crowd numbers were relatively small and largely trouble free.
Israeli forces were put on high alert on the frontiers with Lebanon and Syria, but there were no reports of anyone nearing the frontier fences.
