Re: Gaza
Protests in the UK today.

Quote:
Former model Bianca Jagger and singer Annie Lennox have supported the action, and have also called on American president-elect Barack Obama to speak up against the bombardment.

Ms Lennox told the BBC that both sides were "wrong" and a total ceasefire was the only sensible solution.

She said the intervention of President George W Bush, who has described Hamas's rocket attacks as an "act of terror", was not helping the situation.
She said: "The problem is, from my perspective, they are pouring petrol onto the fire.

"They have to sit down. This is a small window of opportunity just before things kick off.

"For every one person killed in Gaza, they are creating 100 suicide bombers. It's not just about Gaza, it's about all of us.
It is fair to say that Bush is a complete twat calling the Palestinian rocket fire which has killed 4 people an "act of terrorism" and seemingly-ignoring the daily bombardments which have killed 400 and injured an estimated 1000 people.
