EIRUT, Lebanon (AP) -- Crowds of thousands swept into the streets of cities around the Middle East on Sunday to denounce Israel's air assault on Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip.
From Lebanon to Iran, Israel's adversaries used the weekend assault to marshal crowds into the streets for noisy demonstrations. And among regional allies there was also discontent: The prime minister of Turkey, one of the few Muslim countries to have relations with Israel, called the air assault a "crime against humanity."
Several of Sunday's protests turned violent. A crowd of anti-Israel protesters in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul became a target for a suicide bomber on a bicycle.
In Lebanon, police fired tear gas to stop dozens of demonstrators from reaching the Egyptian Embassy. Some in the crowd hurled stones at the embassy compound. It was unclear if anyone was hurt.

And the firing of countless rockets into Isael is not??? I think gathering them all in the streets would make for good targets. TOAST THEM ALL!!

called the air assault a "crime against humanity." No, crime against humanity is when you arbitrarily fire rockets at innocent civilians like the Hamas are doing...

But the rockets fired the other way were OK, right?
If the limp-wristed world had admitted out that the “Palis” were a manufactured problem this would be a non-issue. Whiners.
Oh, and I like the “Stars & Bucks” cafe in the background. Copyright infringement some?
To: Felis_irritable
A whole bunch of Middle Eastern countries have no copyright laws. They imitate the whole range of Western brands with slight variations in the name.

France also called for the truce to be renewed and rallied European nations to use "all their weight" to stop the fighting between Israel and Hamas. Isreal should do to the palestinians what the palestinians want to do to the Jews. Push them into the sea.
