TSG Goons Lash Out At Demonstrators By Kensington Palace Gardens

13-01-2009 11:05

Bell Hats
There is a rumour which seems to have gained credence and may still persist among those demonstrators who took part in the march from Hyde Park to the Israeli Embassy rally point on the 10th Jan 2009. Namely that the Kensington Palace Gardens Gate battle with the TSG happened at back gates to the Israeli Embassy.

But the truth in fact is someone had spotted a large unit of cops in bell helmets some safe distance behind the gates. An increasing numerous crowd parted from the march gathered at the gates and started throwing shoes, setting placards alight and shoving them under the gap of the gate. This in turn ignited the shoes.

The fact that a number of people were sitting on top of the gate wall waving the hammer and sickle flags of the MLKP maybe should have, but clearly failed to alert the crowd, that this entrance was actually the approach to the Russian Embassy!

A quick surf of multimap will confirm where Old Court Place is in relation to Kensington Palace Gardens!

Israeli far-right group demo @ Iranian embassy Thursday 15th 7:30

13-01-2009 02:54

Beitar, the Revisionist Zionist group founded by Jabotinsky, whose early members trained alongside Mussolini's blackshirts in Citavecchia, will be airing their extremist views at the Iranian embassy on Thursday.

It's only a short walk from the Israeli embassy, so confrontation seems inevitable, after Beitar members attacked people leaving the End the Massacre in Gaza demo last Wednesday.

Spirit of Humanity sets sail for Gaza.

12-01-2009 21:53

UPDATE - 3 hours into the journey, the boat appears to be turning back to Cyprus. According to the Jerusalem Post, "Karin Pally told The Associated Press that a generator blew three hours into the 24-hour trip, forcing the 66-foot (20-meter), Greek-flagged vessel to return to port in Larnaca.

The Free Gaza Movement's new boat the Spirit of Humanity, left Larnaca Port at 3pm (local time) this afternoon - bound for Gaza port, where it is due to arrive at 11am tomorrow. The boat has been acquired at short notice, to stand in for the Dignity, which was rammed three times and fired on in international waters on 29th December,2008. On board the Spirit are several tons of medical supplies, and a number of doctors, surgeons, parliamentarians, journalists and activists, all intent on showing solidarity with the people of Gaza in the face of the crippling siege that has been visited upon them for the past eighteen months.

Jimmy Carter "Israel broke the truce not Hamas"

12-01-2009 19:37

I know this reposting of articles is not allowed on IMC but in this case it is useful for many people to understand the background to what happened before the slaughter on Gaza happen. The fact that israel chose the night of Obama election victory to launch an attack on a "defensive tunnel" inside Gaza, as well as bringing large numbers of Palestinians to near starvation during the blockade.
