I'm proud to be one of the thousands of Israelis and Palestinians who joined the demonstration on Saturday night in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah. The crowd, mobilized by a broad range of groups (including the Israeli Peace Now movement), is united in our opposition to settler groups who are evicting Palestinian families and moving into their homes there.
The demonstration was a powerful show of force by the Israeli peace camp. Indeed, the headline on the front page of today's Ma'ariv, which conservatively estimates the crowd at 3,000, reads: "There is a Left in Jerusalem."
