WASHINGTON — Since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, “our anxiety has grown over the past weeks so tremendously,” said Michael Lorge on Tuesday, one of many from the Chicago area at the March for Israel on the National Mall, a rally that saw thousands show unity with Israel in its war against Hamas, push for the return of Hamas-held hostages and deplore rising antisemitism.
And a way to do that, Lorge said, “was to come together in massive numbers to find strength and to speak out loudly.”
