If you have been sitting at  your desk today overwhelmed with the pre-Jewish holiday work haul, you probably missed one of the finest attended Israel rallies in a long long time at the UN. 

Sure, it was packed with thousands of super cute,  teenaged, Abercrombied, Jewish highschool and YU (is there a difference?) students enjoying what might be their camp/yeshiva/ncsy reunions or preparing for Simchas torah Social scene (eg, people keep walking around until you see someone who kinda looks familiar enough to scream  “OH MY GOD!!!” and hug them with emotions which would make these dudes fill with envy)..but at the end of the day – with the streets packed with youth, energy and excitement – the true thoughts on the street going through everyone's minds were:

“Dang, there sure are a heck of a  lot of NYers who really care about Israel.” 

“We truly are a beautiful Am Yisrole Chai!”

“Bring it on, IRAN!”

and naturally,

“Let's kick the sh*t out of some Neturai Karta jerks!”

Good times.  

I really hope President Ahmadinejad, ymach shmo, got a chance, in between his My Kamf recitations and nuclear genocide planning to peak out at the 30,000 proud Jewish protesters outside today. 

We ain't goin no where!!!!
(that is, until we see someone who we really recognize from camp Moshava)
