Thousands rally in Swiss capital in support of Israel

By The Associated Press

Around 3,000 people took part in a pro-Israel demonstration in the Swiss capital Bern on Saturday, calling on the government to defend Israel's right to exist and to support it in its fight against terrorism.

Waving Swiss and Israeli flags, the demonstrators rallied peacefully in support of Israel and against anti-Semitism.

A resolution put forward by 20 pro-Israel organizations urged the government and parliament to support Israel's unconditional right to exist and to refuse negotiations with any terrorist groups that oppose this.
