About 1,000 take part in Tel Aviv protest

Roughly a thousand people are estimated to be taking part in the rally in support of a soldier charged with manslaughter in Tel Aviv’s Rabin Square, far fewer than police projected.

Not all of the people present are far right-wing extremists, but one teen was among radicals present who held up a flag which reads “We are all Kahane,” referring to the assassinated extremist party leader Meir Kahane whose party was outlawed in Israel.
