European crowds urge end to Gaza op
Jerusalem Post ^ | Jan 3, 2009 | AP AND JPOST.COM STAFF

Demonstrators hurled shoes at the tall iron gates outside the British prime minister's residence in London on Saturday and waved Palestinian flags in more than a dozen European cities as tens of thousands protested Israel's operation against Gaza terrorists.

In London, at least 10,000 people, many carrying Palestinian flags, marched past Prime Minister Gordon Brown's Downing Street residence to a rally in Trafalgar Square. Outside Downing Street, hundreds of protesters stopped and threw shoes at the gates that block entry to the narrow road.

Police estimated the crowd in London at 10,000 to 12,000, but organizers said the number was much higher. The marchers included activist Bianca Jagger, ex-Eurythmics singer Annie Lennox and comedian Alexei Sayle.

"As a Jew, it's very moving to see so many people who are so outraged at Israel's actions," Sayle said. "Israel is a democratic country that is behaving like a terrorist organization."

Looks like the pro-Islamofacist “peaceniks” are “outraged” about something. I guess they don’t like it when their murdering buddies are getting their asses kicked.

Same folks who showed up to Obama rallies throughout Europe during his “I Am a Man of the World Tour”.

These are the people, and their children, we will be at war with someday.

Marching for terrorists must have a price.

Sounds like a stylish event. What was Bianca wearing? Was there a special roped off section for the celebrity activists? Was it catered?

I think you’re onto something here; I’m guessing that I could have scored with 3 or 4 women in one day, if I had the right tee-shirt on.

Sounds like something "Europeans" would do./Sarcasm

Looks like a typical deliberately misleading MSM Headline/News Story.

Are these particular "Europeans" often referred to as "youths", I wonder?

“Why did we sacrifice so much on D-Day???”

I venture to say that had our leadership in 1944 known how Europe would turn out we never would have launched D-Day, and likely would have pulled out of the ETO entirely, and just concentrated on the Pacific. Of course, we would likely have ended up nuking Germany just to put it in its place, but that’s another story.

"European cowards urge end to Gaza op"

Agreed! That's a more honest title.
