An estimated 80,000 Israelis — including prominent politicians, officials from the judiciary, stroller-pushing parents, and several civil rights and Jewish-Arab coexistence groups — braved a rainstorm to gather Saturday evening at the city’s Habima Square, hoisting posters with slogans like “We won’t become Iran,” and “Judaism does not equal racism!”

In and around Tel Aviv’s Habima square, many of the protesters carried umbrellas or placards.
