Source: Jerusalem Post
Several hundred demonstrators in Tel Aviv joined hundreds of thousands of people in some 20 countries around the world protesting in solidarity with the Women’s March on Washington, held a day after the inauguration of US President Donald Trump.
Gathering in front of the US Embassy on Saturday evening, the predominantly female crowd waved banners with slogans such as “Hate does not make America great,” “Love Trumps hate,” “resistance has no borders” and several with references to lewd remarks about women made by Trump in the past, with various “pussy” references.
One of the organizers of the rally was Pantsuit Nation-Israel, part of a global Facebook movement founded in support of Hillary Clinton during the lead-up to the US presidential election.
“Pantsuit Nation-Israel invites anyone, regardless of faith, nationality, race, ethnicity and religion to stand with us in advocating for justice, freedom and tolerance, and to stand against the misogyny, antisemitism, Islamophobia, racism and corruption of Trump and his administration,” the event invitation read.
Pantsuit Nation-Israel was part of a coalition planning the post-inauguration rally, which included groups All That’s Left and If Not Now. “Now is a time for us to come together and work to resist Trump and his ideology. There is a lot of work to be done, and we are stronger together,” they stated.
