Socialist Party members from across the South West, joined the massive protest and angry demonstration in London, 10 January 2009, much larger than last Saturday's and probably 100,000 strong, passed by the Israeli embassy to a rally in Kensington Gardens. The Socialist Party calls for
Stop the military onslaught now! End the blockade and occupation
Escalate the anti-war demonstrations and initiate workers' actions
No trust in the world's capitalist governments or the United Nations
For independent workers' organisations in Israel and Palestine
For a struggle for democratic socialism throughout the Middle East

Whilst I support the cause of the people of Gaza, her point at around 2:01 is crap. Deaths, no matter how minuscule they may be, are still equally bad. This is not about numbers, it's about reaching justice and resolving the issues that have affected the people of the West Bank for too long.

Curiously - nothing on the SWP website about the Iranian protests that were brutally suppressed by Basiji

it turns my stomach to see issues such as these being hijacked for the sake of political opportunism - there are wrongs on both sides in Gaza - socialist naval gazing and hollow slogans will not solve the actual issues involved in the region...it might get a few new members for the socialist party though, which in reality is what this is really all about - it's easy to shout populist slogans from the sidelines
