Have there been any demonstrations against the Lebanese atrocities

Have there been any demonstrations in the UK against the Israeli atrocities in Lebanon. There have been none in the USA (no surprises there) where i live.

What Israeli atrocities? I thought they were defending themselves against terrorist attacks.

Do you mean the atrocity of dropping those leaflets on the Lebanese people? They were asking them to keep away from the Hezbollah terrorist positions to avoid unnecessary death and injury. I don't think the terrorists do the same to the Israeli's.

I was in Bristol city centre and there was a relatively large demonstration going on there. They were doing the usual, petitions, leaflets, and getting people to honk as they drove past.

Demonstrations or no demonstrations is not going to achieve anything. Bush & Blair have already decided to keep out of the crisis and let Israel get on with the job.

Nice gesture from Israel by dropping those leaflets on innocent lebanese people and warning them that they are going to drop tons of bombs on Hezbollah and in the process destroy their houses and livelihood
with sophisticated weaponary that is no match to Hezbollah. Hmmm and you expect the lebanese to bow down to this atrocitiy by Israelis by running away and leave everything they have lived for behind?

ha ha, yes, a bit like tapping someone on the shoulder before you punch them in the face.

there is no doubt we are talking about atrocities, but i think as this has been going on for most of our lives people agree that it's wrong, but have the attitude ' there's those jews and arabs going at it again' and i think we have become complacent to the repetitive graphic images on television, to the point the are no longer as offensive as they once were. i live in canada and there was huge protest against afghanistan and iraq and milder ones when recently we sent soldiers to afghanistan, but still protests. but none that i am aware of for recent carnage. but i am sure there are small groups scattered around that just aren't getting any media attention.

good one booldawg! cheers.

maybe Englands failure to turn up for the Davis Cup tie with Israel is the start of something?
