Its raining heavily in London this saturday afternoon, but Im surprised to find that this seems to have put the enraged masses off attending the proposed demonstration at the Israeli Embassy in Kensington. Who organised it ? Noreena Hertz ?
Well, this is typical of the entire anti-war movement here. Oppose war so long as its convenient, and your friends approve, and its not raining. It reminds me a little of the Kosovo demos in 1999. By the end of that year, "Stop the Bombing" (same slogan !) had been forgotten, and about five people turned up to protest NATO warships in the Docklands.

Oh, to hell with it ! Perhaps the Palestinian people can get by without our help.
