Images on the related link below are reason enough to smash up a weapons factory.
Yet the more I learn about this conflict the more discussed and angry I become.
It appears that the bastard president of Israel has vowed to protect his troops from charges of war crimes.
The shear number of CHILDREN either SHOT dead or wounded by small arms fire is staggering!
This is why a small bunch of Bristolians and Brighton residents decided that no longer could they stand by
and let international law be flotued, human rights abused and peoples suffering continue unnoticed. read full story / add a comment

In October 2005 a survey by Campaign Against the Arms Trade found that Exeter uni had the 7th highest number of shares in the arms trade for a UK university. In 2008 they refused to give figures for the survey – if they don’t still have shares in the arms trade it would have been ridiculous for them to do this! read full story / add a comment

LONDON - SATURDAY 24TH JANUARY

Israel has called a ceasefire in Gaza but say they will attack again whenever they want to. The blockade of Gaza remains in place. Much of the infrastructure of Gaza has been destroyed. In the last three weeks over 1100 have been killed, 350 of them children, and over 5500 injured. Israel ignored the worldwide clamour for it to end the attacks. Our government tried to blame the Palestinians for forcing the Israelis to attack.
We must press for the immediate withdrawal of Israel's troops, no re-start of the attacks and the lifting of the blockade. Palestine must be free!

A third national demonstration in London on Saturday 24th will assemble at BBC Broadcasting House in response to the BBC's largely one-sided coverage of the Gaza massacre, allowing Israeli spokespeople endless opportunities to propagate lies and deception without challenge. The demonstration will then march to Trafalgar Square. read full story / add a comment
