A Muslim contingent from Ohio and New Jersey.

About 40 bikers were arrested as they participated in a civil disobedience a few blocks from the march, blocking the corner of 37th Street and 7th Avenue.

The Code Pink contingent.

Less than a hundred counter-demonstrators, some waving Israeli flags, were separated from the marchers by police barricades.

Jenny (she wouldn't give me her last name because she said that I "looked like a liberal") is a Washington state delegate to the Republican convention. She insisted that "the terrorists" were on the side of the marchers. When I asked her if she has spoken to "the terrorists" recently to get this information, she said that it was obvious they didn't like President Bush.

Jews Against the Occupation were part of the Palestine Activist Forum of New York contingent.

The Missile Dick Chicks, a self-described "posse of pissed-off housewives from Crawford, Texas" were very well received by fellow marchers.

Some of the pro-Palestinian demonstrators in a "feeder" march.
