Hi, I’m an Italian student ( sorry for my bad English! ^^). Your post is very interesting, and I’m so shocked for all this absurd bloodshed.. I’m writing an article about the attitude of people, especially young people, who are going at these rallies for Gaza in London. (It’s just for my course it’s not to be published). Lots of demonstrators told me the same as you wrote here: rallies are useless but at least Gaza’s people could feel they’re not alone. And you’re right, maybe the boycotting is another thing we could do. I’d like to ask you if I can quote your blog and your name and age in my article? Let me know, I let you my email. Anyway, thank you very much!

Hello everyone:

This is why we’re protesting the unrelenting Judeo-psychopathic brutality:

“Zionist War Crimes: The Case For the Prosecution”. 1-hr long documentary at google video, or to buy.

Apologies, this is completely off topic - I'm in a hurry to go out but I wanted to check something about twitter so I came here. My history got wiped, I didn't have the url, so I googled - suspect paki. Now it's only right and proper that this blog should come up first but boy was I surprised to see in fourth place News results for Suspect paki. And top of that list is something about Mumbai. How suspect can you get!!!

As-Salaamu ‘alaikum,

I saw this video posted to MPACUK, in which you can see the yob element in full swing – not just egging and smashing windows at Starbucks but actually stealing their cups and using them as missiles against the police. Some of the yobs had covered faces (and I don’t mean niqab) and one of them sounded like a middle-class white boy talking about all the oppressed people of the world. I know most of the protest was peaceful but I do hope they identify these people and make sure they’re out of circulation if there is to be another one.

I protested in DC wishing, hoping that the MASS media in the states would show something…. NOTHING!!!!
it’s all filtered by AIPAC, and many more filters, this PR strategy will soon be unmounted incha allah!!!
then the truth will burst out, until then it’s our duty to scream and shout as loud as we can, that way we can give more work for AIPAC the poor guys are sitting their lazy bottoms on a chair without anything to do!!!

As the previous commenter said, the artist’s name is LowKey and he actually has a “Long Live Palestine” blog up at MySpace
(http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=15294050)

You can catch a video of his song there (and on YouTube).

@Saracen

In the absence of a fatwa of martial jihad, a good old fashioned war by some Arab countries might keep Israel busy for a while. Can’t see that happening.

@br. Yusuf – wa `alaykum as-salaam wR wB
The Starbucks in Ken Church St. was damaged before we got there, but we lagged back at that stage. Though the police told me there had been a lot of trouble, I saw little evidence of that.

I said the same to my Palestinian friends, that there might well be some aggro later.

I stayed until after 5, then my friends and I ate at Al-Dar and after that, I came back again at around 7 and stayed for almost an hour.
