Protesters outside the Waldorf Astoria Hotel示威者在華爾道夫大飯店外
Hundreds of demonstrators have held an anti-Israeli rally outside a fundraiser for the Israeli military in New York.
數百名示威者舉行反以色列集會，在紐約為以色列軍隊的籌款活動外面。
Earlier a Jerusalem Post article had reported that the Friends of the IDF would host a USD 1,000-a-plate dinner at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, to raise funds for the Israeli military.
早些時在耶路撒冷郵報的文章曾報導，以色列國防軍之友會將在華爾道夫飯店，舉辦 1,000美元一盤食物的晚宴，為以色列軍隊籌集資金。
Organized by a broad coalition of about 25 groups, including American Jews for a Just Peace, the demonstration took place in New York on Tuesday, with protestors defending the Palestinian cause by chanting "Long live Palestine, long live the Intifada. Palestine will never die."
示威由一廣泛聯盟約 25個組織主辦，包括美國猶太人為公正和平，週二發生在紐約，示威者捍衛巴勒斯坦人，高呼“巴勒斯坦萬歲，Intifada萬歲。巴勒斯坦永不會死。“
We have come here "to protect the Jews from our mortal enemies, when the mortal enemy is this entity of Zionism which is the ideology behind the [creation of] Israel," one demonstrator told Press TV, adding that by "exacerbating anti-Semitism" Israel has exposed "a rift between the Jews and the Muslims."
The fundraiser was attended by several Israeli military officials, including Chief of Staff General Gabi Ashkenazi, who arrived in Washington on Monday for talks on Iran.
Ashkenazi has met with US military officials at the Pentagon, and he's also due to meet with Republican Senator John McCain.
