What I want to know is (1) whether the pro-Israel demo really attracted 100,000; and (2) whether it was larger than A20, as NYT, etc. claim.

As far as local demos are concerned, we have consistently outnumbered pro-Israel demonstrators, so I find it doubtful that the organizers of the pro-Israel demo last week could turn out such a large number on very short notice (they had just a week or so, whereas A20 organizers had months to organize). -- Yoshie
