A huge crowd is gathering in Washington, D.C. for the March for Israel, which starts in a couple of hours.

Outside of posts on social media, we have not seen much coverage of the event.
We’re at the March for Israel today - the event starts in a few hours but hundreds are already here. Signs of the kidnapped being held by Hamas line the bike rack to the press area pic.twitter.com/Q5G94BkoXd

This is what things look like on the ground.
How is this not getting more coverage? https://t.co/Rq1UBMyWMS

Smug isn't the only one asking this.
You know why.

Yes, we do.
So beautiful. There is hope for humanity. 🇮🇱

After countless pro-Hamas/pro-Palestine and anti-Israel protests, it's good to see.
You may notice a slight lack of media coverage on this. https://t.co/C2NU7pAllY

Doesn't fit their narrative.
Friends are telling me they aren’t sure they will make it in time because the flow from the airport is so slow due to the overwhelming crowd. https://t.co/5ajIc9K0jh

Wow.
Notable absence of property destruction and fires breaking out from this mostly peaceful protest. https://t.co/w6mhrRMqUJ

Don't worry, the media will try to find a way to make this seem insurrection-y, we're sure.
The only place I am seeing media coverage of this is on Twitter. Anyone point me elsewhere? https://t.co/K8C8ymv61w

There's not much out there, but a little bit.
More than an hour away from start. https://t.co/CepQkWOmR3

Little less than an hour away now, but the crowds are massive.
Americans from across the country have travelled to DC to show their support for Israel and the Jewish people.

Yet, @joebiden even can’t walk outside his backyard and join them in this extraordinary moment. https://t.co/ev0mdUPLtG
But he stood shoulder-to-shoulder (not) with the UAW when they were on strike.
The ACTUAL march for peace: https://t.co/kdBLHLHded
— Teacloc (@Teacloc) November 14, 2023
And an actually peaceful march.
Notice that they don't wear masks. https://t.co/xlJSeEwzPe

And we'd bet you a donut they don't deface the White House fence or hurl things at the Secret Service.
They’re Right To Lifing it.
— Matthew D. Dempster (@dempstermd) November 14, 2023
Bingo. That never gets media coverage, either.
The same reason March For Life doesn't.

It doesn't fit the narrative.
Because they aren't burning crap and shouting about genocide. https://t.co/o8jVC2EFws
— Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) November 14, 2023
Exactly. The media can't call this 'mostly peaceful' or 'passionate.'
Because Jewish Lives Matter Less https://t.co/6eZt06nLpU

Sadly, that seems the case.

Yes, they did.
Any reliable estimates on the number of attendees? https://t.co/OqMdbK6sIA

We'd like to know this, too.
With things slated to start at 1 pm, speakers are already at the podium:

We hope the March for Israel goes smoothly, and gets the attention it deserves. It's much needed after weeks of hatred and antisemitism aimed at Israel and Jews across the world.
