GORDON BROWN'S DINNER WITH WAR CRIMINALS

The demonstration this Saturday 24 January will march to Downing Street, calling for the lifting of the Gaza blockade, an end to all arms sales to Israel and for Israel to be made to pay for its war crimes.

We will also be registering our disgust over Gordon Brown's support for Israel following its barbaric attack. The day after the massacre was ended - so as not to spoil Barack Obama's inauguration with pictures of phosphorous bombs dropping on UN schools in Gaza - Brown rushed off to join five other heads of government for a celebratory gala dinner at the Jerusalem home of Israel's prime minister Ehud Olmert, alongside Olmert's compatriots in mass murder, defence minister Ehud Barak and foreign minister Tzipi Livni.

"Thank you for demonstrating your impressive support for the State of Israel", said Olmert, "This is in the supreme interest of all those who fight the forces of evil," among whom he no doubt meant the 450 children in Gaza killed by Israel over the past three weeks.

To which Brown replied, without a sliver of irony, "The task before us is… an end to arms trafficking." Not of course the arms trafficking which makes Israel the fourth most powerful military in the world, able to use the most advanced weapons of mass slaughter to kill 1400 Palestinians and injure 6000 more.

"Through the anguish and the suffering, we can see the road toward peace," Brown added, as if all the mass death, injuries and destruction, which left Gaza looking like it had been hit by an earthquake, would in some way benefit the cause of peace.

The demonstration this Saturday will assemble at 2.00 pm at Broadcasting House in Portland Place, in protest at the BBC's capitulation to Israel's propaganda machine during the attack on Gaza. This will be the fourth Gaza demonstration in as many weeks, all of them bringing unprecedented numbers to voice their outrage over the carnage we have witnessed and to show our support for the people of Gaza, subjected to horrific crimes against humanity. Please help publicise Saturday's demonstration as widely as you can and encourage everyone you know to join us. A leaflet for downloading will be available shortly on our website.
