On Sunday, January 18, in front of Jacksonville Beach City Hall, over 100 people waved Israeli flags and US flags, in support of peace in Israel.
"Self defense is not just a basic human right," explained Rabbi Nochum Kurinsky, "it is an obligation. We are here today to make sure people can hear the other side of the negative media coverage about Israel."
The sun was shining as people kibbutzed with old friends and made new friends. The Jacksonville Beach Police Department was out in full force to make sure the rally for peace went off without a hitch. The day before Martin Luther King Day, and two days before the presidential inauguration, it was a great day for flag waving.
