MORE DEMONSTRATIONS PLANNED SEE http://www.stopwar.org.uk
Over 2000 people protested outside the Israeli embassy against the slaughter of innocent Palestinian civilians in Gaza, in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle to exist. The protest became so large that the police lost control of the streets, forcing them to call for reinforcements. When I left the protest as darkness fell the streets outside the Israeli embassy were still filled with chanting protesters as police struggled to regain control.
Further protest planned Saturday 3rd January 2009, 12:30pm, Embankment London.
