Cameraboy. | 18.01.2009 00:13 | Anti-militarism | Palestine | Cambridge | World

The biggest demonstrations to be seen in Cambridge for years happened today (17-01-2009), with approximately 1,000 people in attendance, letting their disgust at the massacre in Gaza be known to the world.

The pictures below appear in chronological order.

After some delay (and a public vote), it was decided to do a march around town, to wake up the other Saturday shoppers and remind them there's a real world out there beyond The Grand Arcade.

This was a good natured but passionate demo, saying loud and clear that the people of Cambridge give a damn about their fellow Human Beings in Gaza.

The Police as usual snooped on protestors with their own cameras, as well as the usual blanket CCTV coverage around the city centre, with the camera on top The Guildhall being trained on the action for the whole afternoon. Plenty of footage to start a new file for them then.

Nice to know they care.

This protest comes on the same day that the EDO factory in Brighton has been, erm, disabled by SmashEDO protestors, due to it being a factory where arms are manufactured and sent to Israel and other pointless warzones. There have also been further attacks on Starbucks Cafes today in Central London, due to their CEO Howard Schultz being a notoriously rabid Zionist.

Israel has also declared a *conditional* ceasefire, on the proviso that Hamas don't fire any more rockets into Israel. Funnily enough this ceasefire also happens to coincide with the end of the Bush era and the start of Barack Obama's inauguration process.

It will interesting to see what Israel does once Obama is sworn in.

I shall now let the pictures do the talking.
