Thousands call for Mid-East peace (UK peace rally)

BBC ^ | Sunday, 11 January 2009 | BBC

[Salman]

housands of pro-Israel supporters have gathered in London's Trafalgar Square to call for an end to the violence in the Middle East.

Organisers said they wanted people in Gaza and Israel to live in peace, but argued that Palestinians must accept some responsibility for the conflict.

Demonstrators told the BBC they felt the rocket hits and losses Israel had suffered had been downplayed.

Chief Rabbi Dr Sir Jonathan Sacks said he wanted Hamas to "say yes to peace".

About 850 Gazans and 13 Israelis have reportedly died in 16 days of fighting.

...

It was the first major rally organised by the Jewish community in the UK over Israel's offensive against Palestinian militants in Gaza.

It comes after prominent British Jews wrote an open letter calling on Israel to halt operations in Gaza.

Hopefully, Israel won’t give a flying fig about what these people think.

[Westbrook]

These people have not read the Hamas Charter, which calls for the eradication of Israel, the extermination of the Jews, and worldwide subjugation to the Islamic caliphate.

There is no negotiation to be had with these devils.

They must be dealt with the way the Allies dealt with the Germans and Japanese. Total, relentless war unto unconditional surrender. Then the Hamas nazis must be rooted out, tried as war criminals, and executed.

Be wary of some of these "peace" groups...

The "Party of Socialism and Liberation" is the organization now running the "peace" group A.N.S.W.E.R. When ANSWER was outed as a communist front for the Workers World Party in 2002, several WWP leaders split off to form the PSL and took control of ANSWER. WWP then started up a new "peace" group called Troops Out Now. -ETL

"The Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) is a Marxist party in the United States founded to promote revolutionary change.[2]

It was originally created as the result of a split within the ranks of the Workers World Party (WWP). The San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle and Washington, D.C. branches of WWP left almost in their entirety to form the PSL. The PSL has since established branches in several additional urban centers across the United States."

Also appearing at this "peace" rally with the demonRat Charlie Rangel, now chairman of The House Ways and Means Committee, were Saddam Hussein lawyer, Ramsey Clark and convicted terrorist enabler/attorney, Lynne Stewart. Clark, with Workers World Party, started up that other 'peace' group, A.N.S.W.E.R. Clark also heads the International Action Center and was actually once Attorney General of the United States under democrat LBJ.

13.2 Million Jewish vs 1.5 BILLION that follow Islam and the world roots for Israel to fall.

In ‘07-’08, Hamas fired 4681 rockets & mortars into Israel. Some think that Israel’s attacks are unnecessary?

[ChicagoConservative27]

More like thousands of useful twits gather to join with terrorist scum.

[eleni121]

The problem is that the West has capitulated morally and historically as to who should control what in the Middle East. The West has de facto given away the middle east to Islam when they bowed to down to the oil interests.

The Muslims are invaders and as such have no right to control anything in the region. Neither Gaza nor Syria nor the west bank nor Jordan etc. belong to them. The rightful owners are the few dhimmi Christians who have managed to survive.

[Purrcival]

Actually, according to the article, these were pro-Israel protesters, arguing Israel’s cause in the conflict.

[EGPWS]

I agree.

Hamas just lobs a few thousand rockets on Israeli civilians and Israel treats it as an excuse to break the peace and contentment flowing in the Gaza by getting violent against women and children with high tech tools of human destruction.

What gives them the right? /sarcasm

These people need to watch the movie Obsession - just watched it and I already knew it but it’s still freaky! (I know I’m out of the loop it was out in ‘05 or ‘06)
