Gaza Bombing Demo 16th November 2012

Stalingrad O'Neill | 17.11.2012 20:14 | Palestine | Repression | Terror War | Birmingham

Protest held in Birmingham, supporting Gaza and Palestinian victims of Zionist butchery.
















A large number of protesters gathered for a peaceful protest rally opposite the Rotunda in Birmingham's city centre, condemning the Israeli bombing of Gaza and calling for the British government to take action.......some hope.......

I noticed one of the city's 'new' liaison officers, bore a remarkable similarity to an officer who had 'kidnapped' a protester at the Hippodrome Batshiva Dance Demo two nights ago
(15th Nov)

As the demo dispersed, it was pointed out to me, that there were rather a large number of police vehicles discreetly parked along the Queensway tunnel, that runs under the Bullring
Speakers included MP for Northfield, Richard Burden, Kamel Hawwash and Shamam Murad.

Batsheva Protest arrest Photos

18.11.2012 02:38







I should have made it clear the arresting officer I alluded to, was not in any of the 'Bullring Protest' photos published in the story above
The cop is the one on the right in the final three Bashsheva photos with a moustache
It prompted the Chronicle to publish this downright lie

I have spoke to a number of witnesses who refute this story, those who waited at police station till the protester was released and others who were told at the scene by police that the protester was not arrested but removed to stop a situation from escalating???

Hamas are deliberately provoking Israel

18.11.2012 13:33

The hundreds of rocket attacks against Israel are never mentioned by the pro-Palestine and antiwar protesters, and their well meaning but deluded supporters, or the fact that Hamas has it's rocket sites in built up areas. So when Israel destroys a missile launch site in a city centre there is a good chance that there will be casualities. And this suits Hamas, because then they can use the media to exploit the death of an innocent child.

What exactly is the point of posting these images here if you don't allow them to be used for the good of the cause?

If you want payment from commercial use then you should say so.

You are preventing these images from reaching their full potential. You are harming the cause of the people that are in these images.

Given that they reporter took these pictures, in his own time, using his own equipment that he has paid for; he has the right to choose what he does with his own work. If he doesn't want other people profiting from his work or using it in any way, thats his affair.

How exactly is he 'harming the cause of the people that are in these images'?
You are trying to harm his reporting career

I would suggest the arrested man...

...or anyone else witnessing his arrest, that they make a complaint about the cop in the first picture with his hand on the arrestee is not identifiable as a police officer as he has no shoulder numbers displayed.

1) Looks perfectly identifiable as a police officer to me - because he is wearing a police uniform! lol!
2) Only constables and sergeants display collar (shoulder) numbers. For instance, you can tell the woman is a sergeant and the tall guy is a constable from their numbers.
3) Why don't you make a complaint instead of getting other people to do your dirty work?

Errr... They form part of a news article that people will look at! (duh)

>If you want payment from commercial use then you should say so.
Err, No. If you want to pay to use them for commercial use, then you should contact him and discuss it. He does not have to state what you say he does. He can state what he wants - it is his article, not yours. Write your own article if you want.

> You are preventing these images from reaching their full potential. You are harming the cause of the people that are in these images.
They are his images. Not yours. They are not in the public domain. Don't like it? Tough!
I'd love to see some evidence supporting that statement about 'harming the cause'. Oh yes - I'd really like to see some facts backing that little gem up. I suspect it is utter reactionary Horsecrap
