From Daylife/Reuters:
Members of the movement, "Raise your voice: Peace in Holy Land", holds up a sign during a rally against the creation of a Palestinian state by unilateral decree in Tegucigalpa, November 10, 2011. The sign (C) reads, "No to the division of the State of Israel".
Who is behind this?
"Raise your Voice: Peace in the Holy Land" has a video (Spanish with English subtitles) that provides an answer:
The website for Paza en Tierra Santa is impressive - tens of thousands of people have shown their support, and it includes much of Latin America as well as Spain in its activities.
http://pazentierrasanta.com/The person behind it, Dr. William Soto, last year presented a petition for the release of Gilad Shalit that contained half a million signatures!
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3973896,00.htmlPopular, grassroots support for Israel is not only found in the US and Canada, but also among Christians in Latin America. So much so that last year a cheesy Spanish-language music video singing the praises of Israel became a bona-fide hit, with millions of views.
There should be more publicity for this, as well as cooperation between this organization and English-language pro-Israel groups.
