Good, I am glad.

Israel is not an evil country, it just has evil men in charge of it. The same applies to nations like the US, Australia and Britain.

So...how do the raving Zionists explain events such as these? Are these protesters suicidal in demanding their government halts an invasion that is ostensibly designed to protect them? Or do they know, like the rest of us, that their government does not care about Hezbollah and only wants more lebensraum for Greater Israel (with increased Muslim hatred towards Israel and its citizens as a direct consequence).

Its good to hear,

I can really understand the average Israeli/Jews concern's living in downtown Isreal. DO you think its going to be Ehud Olmert house that gets hit buy a Hezbollah rockets ?.

Like the last time they will downplay the number attended and always attribute it to people being conned or some BS. They were probably met with Pro-Israel and Pro-War groups at the same time.
Im sure the zioist organizations sent out action-alert emails for all their members calling for a counter-protest.

And? Your point is? So are you saying their voice doesn't count?? A Tax payer is a tax payer. I dunno what country you are from but a persons race should have nothing to do with it if they are citizens of that country.

My point is in the surrounding sentences:"demonstrations against Israel are usually held and attended by muslim immigrants (that have an obvious bias)......
The english people themselves are far less supportive of the arab side in the Israeli-Arab conflicts."

Meaning, people with obvious bias due to family realations to one side, cultural environment etc', tend to allow their emotions to get in the way of logical judgement. One would expect their views to lean to one side.
The non-muslim-immigrant english people, however, are less personally involved, so I brought them as an example to a more neutral (of cours, not totally neutral) crowd.

My point was, you can't get the general British sentiment about the situation, nor get a balanced view on the ME conflict, by only concidering such demostrations when a specific group with non-neutral views is involved.

Nowhere did I claim that their voice doesn't count, due to race or otherwise. Nor are those my views. I only claim they have an obvious leaning toward a certain side. Personal connections can distort one's judgement. Do you disagree?


Edit: do you agree with the main argument in my post, about the anarchists not representing a major shift in Israeli sentiments about the war?

Great info! 5,000 is a lot of people for the demonstration. That would be the equivalent of about 230,000 in the United States. Quite big!
It looks like many peace marchers were there; I wonder how many Israel's were there not necessarily for peace but just to end the war.

The protests are pointless. THe only protests that can stop this war are anti-hezbollah protests in lebanon. Looks like the lebanese feel fine about hezbollah existing and attacking Israel. Therefore, Isreal should feel free to attack and destroy lebanon. Indeed, looks like they are. So, agian, the protests are pointless.
