Amidst a sea of blue and white flags, demonstrators at the Flag March in Jerusalem Tuesday night were assertive in expressing their support for Israel and their sovereignty over Jerusalem. They also emphasized the significance of the Flag March occurring after being delayed.

“It’s important to come to represent ourselves. This is a natural thing that we do every year and they shouldn’t stop us. I’m proud to be here” said sixteen-year-old Evan Goldstein.
Many of the marchers were teenagers who came with friends to express their support for the March.
Sixteen-year-old Norah Shafr proclaimed, “It’s important to show national pride and that the Arabs aren’t winning. We are the ones that are in charge. We should be able to come to Jerusalem with our flags and be proud of it. Jerusalem is ours and we shouldn’t be scared.”
Another teenager, Ben Goldman, said “I came today for Israel. To support my country against Hamas.”
