just come from euston (20 mins ago - 7pm). Around 60-70 people crowded around entrance, chanting and drum banging. One side of euston road blocked by police vans. No-one cordoned in, most coppers not in hi-vis jackets, line of coppers in riot gear guarding entrance. Seemingly peaceful.

This event might be a hoax

We don’t know if this is a hoax, so please read carefully.
We are still trying to find out if it is a hoax. Whether indeed there is a meeting with Geva Rapp tonight, regardless who he is.
It is believed that he is not a Colonel and that he did not serve on the front line in Israel's massacre in Gaza as a commander during the bombardment of Gaza.
He was a brigade commander in 1993, and might not even have taken part in the recent massacre in Gaza. He is a rabid settler and the head of a yeshiva in the West Bank. The organisation he founded was set up as a response to Sharon's 2005 dismantling of the Gaza Strip settlements…
It was suggested that this is a hoax to trick us to demonstrate against non-event and then accuse us of anti Semitism, claiming we demonstrate only because it is a Jewish centre... I’m told students had been tricked before in this way.
On the other hand, at University of Warwick the students were disinformed that Israeli Ambassador cancelled his visit in the first week of the Israeli onslaught, but that was a lie. He did come, but they cancelled their demo...
The info for this alert was based on an explicit title re his role:
Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2009 14:53:41 +0000> Subject: TALK BY ISRAELI GENERAL
AT HEAD OF GAZA OPERATION, LONDON STUDENT CENTRE, THURSDAY
From: goldsmithsjsoc@googlemail.com
there are website that claim he was a commander in Gaza during the onslaught, such as
The letters are printed out on nice paper and given to Colonel Rapp who served in Gaza as a commander of thousands of soldiers. He and others under his command distributed – see http://thejewishstar.wordpress.com/2009/01/21/war-in-gaza-over-soldiers-still-need-help
Project SOS has been developed in conjunction with IDF Colonel (Reserves) Geva Rapp, who is presently on the front lines in Gaza with thousands of IDF troops under his direct command – see http://www.youngisrael.org/content/israel_pa.cfm
There was a planned screening of the DEC Gaza aid appeal, which the BBC is refusing to show. It is planned to screen it against the wall of the BBC HQ, Broadcasting House, Portland Place, London W1A 1AA The was to do it at the same time, Thu 29 Jan, at 6pm, so may be they planned to sabotage this. It is unclear if this event is still going.
Many people are going to each of these events.
Israeli apologists are engaged in war of attrition to undermine us. We should develop ways of minimising the damage, without compromising our solidarity with the Palestinians and Gaza in particular.

It's "Yael" who is a hoax

The Jews who support Israel's actions in Gaza

I hear some of the British Policemen and Policewomen have gone to Gaza to fight as they are ZIONIST jews. Perhaps this why they were so rough with protestors in London.
I ask the Police to publicise the names of their colleagues who are dual national zionists!
