Hands off Gaza demo

I was standing next a bloke behind the barriers across the road from the gates of Downing Street who shouted, ‘this one is fucking well for you George Bush’..and with that he hurled a shoe aiming it at the Gates of Downing Street with a little more force it may have just gone over.

But that was the intensity of anger. Scores of us threw shoes at the gates of Downing Street while the cops protected the gates jumping out of the way when one of the missiles came in their direction!

Over 50,000 people demonstrated against the genocidal attacks on Gaza by the Israeli State especially now with the expectation that there will be a land attack in the next 24 hours. It was a vibrant and dynamic demo.

There were numerous speakers at Trafalgar Square that included Annie Lennox and MP Jeremy Corbyn.

I was thinking about Palestine and Gaza while watching the film Che last night. The Israeli State was founded on terrorism and it has existed by terrorising and oppressing the Palestinians for the past 60 years. And again, that reminded me of the Cuban revolutionary saying:

Hasta La Victoria Sempre!
