Disclaimer first.

It took this long to get these pictures to the Newswire simply because I shot so many (644 images), so it's taken quite some time to sift through them all and pick out the good stuff.

I'll be publishing them in several parts, as there is a lot of pictures to work through. They will also be in the order they were taken in each installment, so hopefully some kind of visual narrative will emerge as a result.

A very jewish confession

14-01-2009 21:09

On the 9th of January an email was sent to thousands of jews around the country telling them that the Board of Deputies of British Jews had canceled the so-called 'Peace Rally' on the 12th. A copy of the email was posted on indymedia and quickly hidden, correctly identified as a hoax. Now indymedia can reveal the culprits were the satirical 'Jewdas' anti-culture group whom some might remember from a really weird and rammed event at the rampART social centre several years ago. Below is their confession...

We will not be pushed around - a Fitwatch response to criticism of militant protest

14-01-2009 14:36

This post started as a repsonse to a thread on the blog, which is why it references FIT from the outset, rather than tackling other types of cops. Some of this stuff has been said before, and it is a personal response, but I have been asked to copy the article here, so here it is!

Activists disrupt Israel's PR operation

14-01-2009 12:59

Activists disrupted the offices of the British Israel Communications and Research Centre (BICOM) in central London this morning. The lobby group's media centre, which is playing a key role in Israel's public relations operation during the assault on Gaza, was shut down as protesters occupied the building.

Photographs of civilian casualties from Gaza were pasted on to the computer screens of public relations executives, phone lines cut off to halt the organisation's media rebuttal unit and leaflets thrown out of window on to the main road and handed out to staff pressing them to confront the truth about the human cost of Israeli aggression.
