Brum Gaza Demo: The Lightning Conductors

21-01-2009 15:43

Last Saturday around 5,000 people marched in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza in Birmingham City centre. After hours of boring speeches by opportunist politicians, demonstrator's freedom of movement and right to protest was restricted by police and stewards to just Victoria Square. Stewards colluded with police to ensure demonstrators could only leave the demonstration in ones or twos even though a Section 60 hadn't been enforced on the protest. Some people did manage to continue protesting outside the pen on New Street and Starbucks was redecorated with some eggs.

Gaza: the nightmare goes on

21-01-2009 10:49

For the moment the bombing has stopped, although we hear that Israeli gunboats continue to shell from the sea and Israeli forces are able to recommence attacks at any moment they choose. The situation for all those inside the Gaza strip remains appalling; the siege has not been lifted and aid convoys continue to be impeded by Israel. More evidence of Israeli war crimes is being uncovered every hour and the response of our Government remains hopelessly inadequate. The lesson to Israel, from most of the world's governments, is that they continue to do whatever they like. Meanwhile there is a growing voice within Israel pleading to the world to support the Palestinian call for sanctions against Israel.
