Sheffield Stop the War Coalition, along with the Sheffield Palestine
Solidarity Campaign and the Sheffield branch of the Muslim Association of
Britain, have called an urgent protest against the barbaric actions of the
Israeli state against the Lebanese and Palestinian people and also to
protest Tony Blair's complicity in the situation. There doesn't appear to be
any hope of an end to the crisis whilst Britain and the US block global
efforts for an immediate ceasefire and Israel refuses to stop its invasion
until it has completely destroyed Lebanon.

However the Tony Blair and US foreign policy is at odds with what most
right-thinking people believe. His cabinet is in open revolt public opinion
is overwhelmingly against Blair.

Help us keep up the pressure! Please bring family, friends, kids, trade
union banners, anti-war banners, home-made placards, whatever you can as we
need to make as big and bold a statement as we can.
