The 2nd emergency protest, in solidarity with the people of Gaza, will take place tonight in front of the Council House, here in Coventry. It will be at 6pm.
There may be two sides in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But only one side has tanks. Only one side has nuclear weapons. Only one side is using white phosphorous. Only one side has imposed a blockade (by air, land and sea) that has turned Gaza into an open-air prison.
I agree with Naomi Klein, in a comment article in the Guardian on the weekend.
People of conscience, all over the world, need to impose broad boycotts and divestment initiatives against Israel similar to those applied to South Africa in the apartheid era.
Hope to see some of you tonight!

Crickey Scott, you're a Guardian reader, that explains a lot. Oh well, enjoy your demo, I hope it stays wet for you.
We'll be there, though possibly not for long if it is wet and the speeches are dull.
I still think that positively purchasing Palestinian products is far more effective than avoiding Israeli ones, but the time when that might have had an effect is basically gone. So bring on the boycott.
Hey Scott ncie to meet you on Monday, similiar demo taking place this monday (19th).
