Israel’s 60th Birthday

It is also the anniversary of the British leaving and creating the mess in the first place. We should petition and complain to Ken.

Yes I agree!

on second thoughts it might also be an opportunity for peaceful demonstration, an alternative to being ignored at Trafalgar Square.
We would of course need police protection.
Why are we celebrating the anniversary of a Rogue State.

I had not heard about this!!!! Do you have any further information?

This is all I know so far. Will keep you posted ;

there are two parades mentioned here
http://www.israel60uk.com/?page=events&month=2008-06

One in Manchester and one undisclosed - presumably the London one. Perhaps they’re yet to recieve permission. Both are for 29th June

O Manchester Salute to Israel Parade
O Salute to Israel Parade

Maybe a line of silent people with placards reading “Shame on your racist, apartheid, ethnic cleansing anniversary!” or variations on the theme. Avoid shouting or jostling if possible.

Dave actually if you click on the poster http://www.israel60uk.com/?page=event&eventid=48, you will see that they explicitly mention a ‘central london location’.

This anniversary points up the 60 long years of suffering endured by the Palestinians - a useful opportunity to focus on their history of injustice and repression. We must be out there in numbers to counter this shameful display of national aggrandisement on the part of Israel, a pariah state.

[...] The march on the 29th June 2008 now has its own website here.  For a previous bit on this see here. [...]
