Gaza war political rally in Times Square, NYC

What was the atmosphere like there? How many people took part do you think?

Thanks for the added information. I'm surprised that more police weren't involved as well actually.

I was in the rally, I thought I got there late (I got the news that it would begin at 12 pm and I got there by 2pm)  I was there until the end, 5:30pm.  At one point, I looked back to see how crowded we were.  I knew I moved somewhere in the middle after late participants. We were walking down by the Grand Central and I could see about 10 blocks behind me easily and couldn't see anything further back.  I believed we made the voice of Palestinians heard and I am proud of it.  In these sort of days, every muslim should try his/her best to participate and support his/her brothers and sisters in Palestine who have been facing constant genocide, agression while the world is watching.  I think it's embarrasing for any muslim when he sits on his chair and not care to give a little support to those who are facing Israeli terror while some Jews and many non-muslims showed humanity by coming to the rally and giving support and I would like to thank them.  As Turks say "peace at home, peace in the world!"

Actually, I would say there were at LEAST 15,000 protestors. The people filled five full city blocks. At one point when we were rounding a corner, I could see thousands of people behind me and even more in front of me. It was an incredible turnout. However, due to media bias, it was reported only a "few hundred" showed up on NY Times, Fox, CBS, NBC.
