  • Story Text: Thousands of flag-waving tourists from dozens of countries marched in Jerusalem on Thursday (October 17) as part of annual religious celebrations that are also a show of support for Israel.
    Thursday's parade was festooned with Israeli flags, as well as those of the native countries of the marchers, many of whom also wore their traditional national garb.
    Israeli police said more than 12,000 people took part in the march, which the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem, a main organizer of the event, described as an "expression (of) our solidarity with Israel."
