What: Oregon Stands with Israel: Stop Terrorism, Free the Hostages is organizing a rally in downtown Portland to foster a sense of unity and hope amid the recent Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel. As a demonstration of support and solidarity for Israel, the event is being held to boost spirits, remind the community of shared values, and encourage participants to work together for a better world.

The event also serves as an educational platform where attendees can gain a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding the conflict, as well as the humanitarian considerations.
