Thousands protest at Israel's assault on Gaza
Fri Jan 9, 2009 7:53pm GMT

AMMAN (Reuters) - Jordan deployed riot police to disperse protesters planning to march on the Israeli embassy in Amman on Friday, and tens of thousands rallied across the nation and in Egypt to protest against Israel's offensive in Gaza.

Demonstrators near the embassy in Amman's Rabia district hurled stones at the police, who were backed by armoured personnel carriers firing teargas, and chanted slogans demanding Jordan cut its diplomatic ties with Israel.

"Expel the ambassador. No Zionist embassy on Jordanian land," they chanted.

Protesters also demanded the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador in Egypt, which also has diplomatic relations with the Jewish state.

Some 1,500 demonstrators outside the Rafae mosque in the Egyptian coastal city of El Arish threw stones at police, injuring three, witnesses said.

Thousands took to the streets in other Egyptian cities after Friday prayers, demanding Egypt open its border with Gaza to help supply food and medicine. Police broke up most of the protests.

At least 5,000 demonstrators in downtown Alexandria, on Egypt's Mediterranean coast, waved Palestinian flags and shouted slogans against Israel and in support of Hamas, the Islamic movement that controls Gaza.

"We are very angry about the dead people, the women, and the children," said Hassan Ismail, 40. "We are asking the Egyptian government to open the Rafah border crossing and we are asking that food and supplies as well as weapons be sent to Hamas."

Medics in Gaza say the Palestinian death toll has topped 780. Ten soldiers have been killed in Israel's campaign to crush Hamas forces and stop cross-border rocket fire -- which has killed three Israeli civilians since the offensive began.

WEST BANK PROTESTS

Hundreds of mosques in Jordan held prayers for those killed, and protesters urged a jihad (holy struggle) in marches in Amman and in cities and refugee camps across the kingdom.

"O Martyrs, your blood will not go in vain," angry youths carrying a large Palestinian flag shouted as others burnt U.S. and Israeli flags.

Most of Jordan's 5 million citizens are of Palestinian origin, they or their parents having been expelled or fled to Jordan in the fighting that accompanied the creation of Israel in 1948.

Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, governed by Hamas's rival Fatah movement under President Mahmoud Abbas, also protested, but the rallies were short and relatively muted.

Israeli forces and Abbas's police were on high alert, although there were only minor clashes around weekly prayers.

Around 4,000 people protested in Ramallah. Police fired teargas to disperse Hamas supporters in the crowd who taunted them as "Jews" and "collaborators" of Israel.

Several thousand people demonstrated and burnt Israeli flags in Hebron, a Hamas stronghold in the West Bank.

In Africa, protesters clashed with riot police in the capital of the Saharan Islamic state of Mauritania, the only other Arab state to have diplomatic ties with Israel.

Around 5,000 people joined a demonstration in the city before riot police fired teargas to disperse them, and groups of several dozen people retaliated, hurling stones and smashing up police vehicles in the city's sandy streets.

A few hundred people also burnt Israeli flags in front of the main mosque in Dakar, capital of neighbouring Senegal.

Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade is chairman of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference and has promised to lead a mediation mission to the Middle East.

Using Friday prayers to scorn Israel and the United States, hardline cleric Ahmad Khatami said in Tehran Israeli officials "deserve to be hanged 10 times."

"Bush now has the blood of more than 800 Palestinian martyrs on his hands," he said.

Zionism at work.

How long have I been doing this "preemptive" trashing of Israel on this forum?

Been telling you folks about zionism. So you'll know what coming to eat you.

"in this thread" being the key phrase there.

anti-semitism has been around one hell of a lot longer than zionism.

 

Sex has been around longer than AIDS.

One made the other dangerous.

so you're taking back that little gem that zionism caused antisemitism? i can understand escalation, but it's still just an excuse for something that was already in effect.

 

At some point , you have to stop and ask yourself why?

Mostly, it is a racial kind of hatred. But it's not any different than the hatred Gypsies have endured or gay people have endured. Europe and the rest of the world, has always had these kinds of tribal/ethnic disputes.

But what about the instances when some Jews really are involved in wrongdoing? Are we supposed to turn a blind eye because they're Jewish?

Zionism uses this very well.

More news. You'll need to click to read the full article elsewhere. I've included this site because of the comments from readers.

My sentiments exactly. He's lying, jew hating, nazi website promoting bigot.

Interesting that Rat is so anxious to defend him.

 

I agree with Hiptastic.Not only do I not comment on xexons garbage but I don't even read it anymore.

 

That's because you're Holocaust deniers.

^True, but can you forgive him ? I know i have.

 

And thats the way it should be. We're all here to voice our opinions because we all know this thing could head our way at any time.

I wouldn't be making such a racket if I didn't see danger approaching.

People can take it or leave it.

I could but he's also monotonous and his writing style is ridiculous. Being boring is really the greatest sin of all.

 

Protesters clash with police at anti-Israel rallies


By Stephen Hird
LONDON (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of demonstrators marched in cities across Europe and the Middle East on Saturday to protest against Israel's offensive in Gaza, clashing with police when some rallies turned violent.
Police in riot gear confronted around 20,000 protesters brandishing banners and Palestinian flags outside the Israeli embassy in central London, while Oslo police used tear gas against rock-throwing activists in the Norwegian capital.
About 30,000 took to the streets of Paris, many demonstrators wearing Palestinian keffiyah headscarves and chanting "we are all Palestinians," "Israel murderer" and "peace." Some threw stones at police and burnt Israeli flags.
"We are here to demand the end to this unacceptable war. There are more than 800 victims including numerous children and civilians. We cannot accept that," said Communist Party leader Marie-George Buffet at the Paris march.
Israeli tanks advanced on Gaza and Hamas militants fired rockets at Israel on Saturday as both sides ignored international calls to stop the conflict.
The Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza says at least 830 Palestinians have died. Thirteen Israelis have been killed: 10 soldiers, and three civilians hit by rocket fire.
Israel is demanding a complete halt to Hamas rocket fire, plus regional and international guarantees to stop the group rearming via smuggling tunnels under the border with Egypt.
More than 40,000 people protested against the Gaza assault in towns across Germany, while demonstrators at the Israeli embassy in Dublin threw shoes and carried a mock coffin, covered with pictures of wounded or dead Palestinian children.

"The haunting images of homes wrecked, of terrified families existing among rubble in shock and despair, and of endless funerals, has rightly outraged people across the world," said Gerry Adams, president of nationalist party Sinn Fein.
"It is time all of this was brought to an end: The slaughter of people in Gaza must end," Adams told a Dublin rally.
"YOU ARE NOT ALONE"
Thousands of Lebanese Shi'ites who turned out for an Ashura festival in the southern Lebanese town of Nabatiyeh also protested against the Israeli offensive, carrying Hezbollah and Palestinian flags.
"We tell the people of Gaza and the elderly in Gaza and the heroes of the resistance, you are not alone, we are with you ... victory is yours, God willing," Mohammed Raad, a senior Hezbollah official, told the crowd.
In Athens, hundreds of riot police carrying plastic shields watched as about 2,000 demonstrators marched to the Israeli embassy, fearing a revival of violent street protests which rocked the city last month.
Danish police said they arrested 75 people at a pro-Palestine demonstration in Copenhagen after activists smashed car windows, threw eggs at buses and attacked a McDonalds outlet.
Protesters gathered in several Italian cities, some shouting "Free Palestine, Gaza will win" while others burnt an Israeli flag. Protests in Poland were largely peaceful.
Support for an end to the assault also came from Africa, where Benin voodoo priests sacrificed a cock, spilling its blood on the ground, as they offered prayers and sacrifices to gods and ancestors to seek an end to fighting in Gaza and elsewhere.

They tried to organize protest here in Boulder didn't go that well maybe 10-15 people.

Usually Boulder is very supportive of protests but when you ask to help a bunch of people toting AKs and declaring war and death (Hamas) no one really gives a shit around here.

the longer this goes on the more unsettled europe will become..

 

^Europe should be more concerned with France and U.N. sponsored mercenaries creating genocides in Africa.

 

great,you know this is probably going to attract odon dont you??

 

It's a matter of priority.

Israel is like a nervous woman in a dark alley with an Uzi under her coat.

Having nukes, Israel is making many people in the world nervous with it's behavior. It's going to continue the whack the hornet's nest until it gets what it wants. US involvement.

We're needed to fight yet another war for Israel. Once we get involved... because we've been told repeatedly on the TV for the past several years that the US WILL protect Israel...why should it not come as a surprise to see this scenario roll around as it has?

Israel is creating conditions that we will HAVE to respond to.

Manipulating our democracy isn't working as good anymore. They're going to step it up a notch.

These demonstrations around the world are a barometer of approaching weather.

Storm warning.
