After two hours of discussion, the hundred people present decided to demand the UK Government back an immediate, unconditional ceasefire and support the formation of an effective peace-keeping force that could even-handedly protect the Lebanese border and allow refugees to return home.The meeting also expressed grave concern about uses of unacceptable weapons by the Israeli armed forces that constitute war crimes under international conventions.

Unsubstantiated bollocks about the IDF using "illegal" weapons as expected, yet deafening silence about the grave war crimes which Hezbollah are committing every single day, as a matter of routine i.e. abusing the Lebanese civilian population as human shields and indiscriminately firing hundreds of rockets at the civilian population of Northern Israel. But then to the PSC, Jews don't count as human beings. do they?
