I think it`s pretty safe to say that "a reader" who posted response number 2, was not actually there. The rally stretched down Herzog from MNa`apilei Egoz to Orot, and 1500 is a conservative estimate.

Ask yourself this... there was no counter demonstration, so it`s safe to assume that someone who was there is sympathetic to the cause. Would such a person be trying to publicly depress the turnout numbers?

With all due respect, "a reader," you were not there.
