Estimates indicate about 30,000 people attended, way more than expected together with more than 50 carnival floats, accompanied by bands, dancers and cyclists. Police estimates put over 10,000 along the streets of Piccadilly to Piccadilly Circus. The parade ended with a rally in Trafalgar Square where over 30,000 people converged.

The Manchester parade I understand ended with a huge celebration in the city's Heaton Park.

Organized and supported by a wide range of Anglo-Jewish organizations under the direction of the Board of Deputies and Jewish Leadership Council, the parade - intended to show solidarity with and support for Israel and was part of the UK's celebrations of Israel's 60th anniversary.

On the day the Secretary of State for Schools and Families Ed Balls paid tribute to Israel, saying that while the UK has lived with the threat of terrorism for the last few years, people in the UK did not understand what Israeli citizens had to confront on a daily basis. Balls also spoke about the people of Sderot, saying, "We admire their courage and determination to live their lives, to finish their schooling and fulfil their dreams," he said, to huge applause.

Diaspora Affairs Minister Issac Herzog, who attended the event, hit out at Israel's detractors who - he said - did not "have a clue" about Israel and about Israelis or the country's achievements and struggles. A message of thanks from President Shimon Peres was relayed on huge screens and London Mayor Boris Johnson welcomed revellers. Celebrity messages of support from Bill Clinton, Michael Douglas, Ashton Kutcher, Ben Stiller and Billy Crystal were also transmitted on the screens.

A wide array of performers, including Israeli punk band Useless ID, Grammy Award-winning violinist Miri Ben-Ari and Jewish rap artist Antithesis, provided the entertainment.

Charlie and I then walked around the square to talk to those attending, the atmosphere was light and friendly although I did see an attempt by a small group (about five people) to try and wind up one of the stewards with some pretty hateful Holocaust references. I'm glad to say he ignorded this and just kept smiling and laughing at them until they got bored and left. This was the only real protesting we saw. Charlie loved the fountains being dyed red, I'm not sure whose idea it was but it was great the children all thought it was really fun. We left at about 6pm but the party was still in full swing so I assume it carried on for a while.

When it comes to great evil, be aware that such evil will always delight in parading itself as visibly as possible.

While these vile racists and terrorists were glorying in their domination of western nations, and their power structures, they once again worked to ensure that none could deny their true intent and nature. As we all know, the jews of Israel and their supporters declared their actions against the Humans of Gaza to be a quote "holocaust". Now, having been bought up on TV dramas about the last 'holocaust' that played endlessly in the 1970s on british TV, I guess I know how to spot the signs of nazi behaviour then and now.

"From his hospital bed at the European Hospital in Gaza and with barely audible voice, award-winning Palestinian journalist Muhammed Omer has given a full account of the hair-raising encounter he had last week with Shin Beth agents at the Allenby Bridge border-crossing between Jordan and the West Bank.

Omer, a co-winner of the 2008 Martha Gelhorn Prize for Journalistic Excellence, said he was abused, assaulted , humiliated, ridiculed, kicked, and strip-searched at gunpoint by undisciplined Shin Beth officers until he had a nervous breakdown in which case he lost consciousness for at least 90 minutes."

This is what the monster Ed Balls, and those he holds Common Purpose with in Israel, do to innocent Humans. This was an act that would have been rejected from those dramas about the original nazis as too over the top.

Note the URL above. The zionist organisation Google (whose founder likewise was celibrating with the racist mass murderers of Israel some time back) has eliminated this site from its news pages, and removed as many of its links as possible without causing a backlash in the wider community, from its search engine.

This story about nazi-inspired Israeli-torture of a young journalist, for the crime of being non-jewish, should have carried headline status on Indymedia. However, as you all know, here the zionists have cleverly moved all the stories about Israeli crimes against humanity into a single ghetto of 'palestine today' promoted stories.

"Palestine Today" posts on the newswire are a zionist mechanism to ensure that zionist mods on Indymedia have a right to reduce/discourage/remove individual stories like the Israeli torture of this young man as eye-catching headlines that far more readers would choose to open. If anyone complains about the lack of coverage of key stories, these mods can smirkingly proclaim that they were covered (at some point), and in a promoted story at that.

In other words, the zionist mods that run circles around the 'anarchists', 'greens', 'animal rights', 'anti-war' and other motivated mods and contributors, have worked to ensure that the headline "Israeli jews torture award winning journalist for the crime of returning to Gaza" from ever appearing on the newswire. Even worse, is that the "Palestine Today" stories are always in racist zionist language, where Israeli terrorists are 'troops' and the victims of their atrocities are 'gunmen' or 'militants'.

A SALUTE TO SERBIA (at the time of their war of extermination of Bosnian muslims).
A SALUTE TO SOUTH AFRICA (at the time of the depraved racist creed of apartheid).

Imagine either of the above. The interesting thing about such a mind experiment is that the same people that gave their support in the 'salute to Israel' would have been just as enthusiastic in joining in the above two. Why? Because Israel supplied Serbia with the weapons that the Serbs used to massacre the infamous muslim 'bread queues', and Israel provided nuclear weapons (read that again) to South Africa for the specific purpose of exterminating millions of black-skinned Humans in Africa. Israel was the major ally of both these racist regimes, just as Chomsky, Benn, Livingstone, Foot etc have always been active supporters of Israel.

That a depraved racist monster like Ed Balls has any control over the education of children in the UK is a cause not for mere alarm, but full blown, lung-destroying, screaming horror. That Indymedia UK carried no headlines describing the Israeli torture of Muhammed Omer is disgusting, and shows the extent to which Israel and its zionist hoardes have 'chomsky'ed this so-called 'alternative' site.

BTW- there was another horrific story killed by the 'israeli megaphone project" in the last few days- namely the massacre at Baiji, Iraq- the sickening aftermath of which was captured on video. Remember that those that took part in 'salute to Israel' were 100% behind the genocide in Afghanistan and Iraq, and are 100% working to exterminate tens of millions of Humans in Iran. Active zionist efforts have just about eliminated all stories covering the atrocities carried out by the US in Iraq, and NATO in Afghanistan, from Indymedia UK.

The zionist racists, mass-murderers, torturers, terrorists and other assorted psychos had much to celebrate on Sunday. Their plan to exterminate Human life in Iran now has the support of the only political parties that can hold power in most of Europe, North America, Australia, etc.

...
Now my post provides a real dilemma to the zionist mods here. Do they hide it, and risk exposing their agenda to the other mods that they consider easily manipulated fools. Actually, given the building anger over the torture of this jounalist, and how the zionist 'mock-liberal' Guardian and Independent newspapers understand that keeping a lid on the story cannot safely happen when the pressure is too great, expect the zionists here to actually allow the torture story to make it to the main central body of this site, as necessary so-called 'limited hang-out' (just as they did when the zionists mass murdered innocent Human holiday-makers on a palestinaian beach a few years back- although the zionist mods quickly killed the comments that followed when they became too dangerously critical of their bosses).

PS Ben Stiller has a big film coming out this summer ('tropic thunder' or some such). That he would choose at a time like this to give active support to Israel is identical to those racist scumbags that gave active support to Germany in the 1930s. Hopefully karma will dish out the commercial success he deserves.
