M&S Picket: Oppose Zionist/Police Aggression

LB, Vicory To the Intifada group, 20-09-2004 11:09

This Saturday, 18th September, the Marks & Spencer picket was again attacked by Zionist thugs waving Israeli and British flags. On the 22nd anniversary of Sabra and Shatilla where 3,500 Palestinians and Lebanese were massacred, the Israeli and British fascists came out, with full police cooperation, to show their support for these brutal actions and again attempt to get the pro-Palestinian protest kicked "off the streets of Manchester". This time we were well prepared and we outnumbered the racists, but as last week showed this might not always be the case. Read more | 10 comments >>

The racists, that include members of Israel's ruling Likud party as well as known British right-wing thugs, numbered more than seventy. Read more | 17 comments >>
