Tens of thousands of people marched in London to show their solidarity with the people of Palistine. The demo which left Hyde Park at 1.00pm went to trafalger square for a rally and speeches. Unlike an Israeli demo of a similar size 2 weeks ago this march has recieved little news coverage.

8000 or 50000??

The police estimate was 8000 people at the rally today (I don't know how the hell they get to that figure). To put that into perspective thats less than the average gate of many second division football teams - which is why the media don't see it as being that well supported.

Of course not

You're dealing with a duplicitous press and a corrupt and controlled government. Try these links to see why your best efforts don't get out there. It doesn't mean you should stop doing it.

Rally calls for sanctions against Israel

 http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/england/newsid_1995000/1995831.stm

Tens of thousands of people joined a rally in London demanding an end to Israel's military actions in the West Bank. Organisers estimated 50,000 people marched through the centre of the capital, calling for sanctions to be imposed on Ariel Sharon's government. In the latest in a series of demonstrations over the continuing Middle East conflict, activists demanded an end to what they see as an aggressive occupation by Israel. A mix of students, trade unionists and seasoned campaigners heard calls for war crimes charges to be brought against those who had organised military actions in the Jenin refugee camp.

Organisers said they were surprised and very pleased about the turnout which benefited from a break in the earlier bad weather. Crowds marched from Hyde Park, through the streets of central London carrying placards and waving flags before gathering in Trafalgar Square to hear speeches which demanded more action from the international community. As well as expressing support for refugees and those who had lost their homes, marchers called for sanctions to be put in place until Israel agreed to a complete withdrawal from Palestinian territory. Naomi Wayne, of Jews for Justice for Palestinians, said: "We wanted to show solidarity with the Palestinians. "We want to see Israeli to withdraw to the 1967 borders, from the occupied territories. "We want Israel to sit down and negotiate with the Palestinians so they can have their own state." She added: "We want Israel to have a secure future, but this must not be at the expense of the Palestinians.

numbers - this was big

Read on BBC Ceefax that 50,000 was a police estimate!!!

The snaking start looked huge, it then seemed to take ages for the square to fill up, but it did and the crowds had been coming in for two hours...

Assume a lot didn't hang around in the square - but this demo pulled in alot of people
