Tel Aviv, Israel
Tens of thousands of Israelis rallied May 15, 2004, [to pressure Prime Minister Ariel Sharon] to push ahead with his stalled Gaza pullout plan after Palestinian militants dealt Israel's army its deadliest blow in two years. Crowds poured into Tel Aviv's main square for the start of what leftist organisers hoped would grow into one of the biggest demonstrations in years by Israel's "peace camp", [largely dormant since the outbreak of a Palestinian uprising in 2000.]
