I have been to the march in Central London yesterday, to support the ceasefire for Gaza, as hundreds of civilians have been targeted. They lost their lives and keep losing (underground) connections to their food, medicine and to their hope to survive in this endless war.
I am extremely upset about the coverage of the media of the peaceful protest. I have been on the streets of London from midday until evening. It was a well-organized and free-from-violence march. I am outraged that, once back home, the only coverage from BBC, Sky and whatever else, was concentrating on the random acts of a few demonstrators who were throwing shoes. (Just to make it clear, I do not agree and disapprove this behaviour.)
But why the good cause of thousands of people is all of a sudden not a prime time report, but 2nd class news for the Western media? Is this a joke?
Thousands and thousands of people were gathered in order to show support to innocent civilians being killed under the ineffective, distant eyes of “ours” International Super Powers. Showing to Gaza and its people that they are not forgotten. People who can’t even expect a 3hour ceasefire to be respected, in order to get their hands on some food for their own sake, and their kids’: their only little chances of survive in this never-ending tragedy.
This is ridiculous!
The Western world is not doing anything to stop this massacre, the UN is in full denial of admitting its wrong-doings, the Western world is not imposing a halt (what’s that? Is there no oil, gold or diamonds to secure in Gaza strip??) to the killing of hundreds of human lives.
But no, please, carry on. It’s more important to let the world know that a Starbucks Coffee window has been broken and there were a dozen of very, very, bad boys during the London protest who would deserve punishment for not agreeing to this political correct world in which we live in… what do you want us to do next?
Clapping as well-behaved puppets to the nonexistent response of our governments to, yet another, bloodshed?!
Ehm, no thanks!

I agree with you. I was there too. I saw no violence.
I neither support Israel or Palestine, they’re both as bad as each other, but i stand side by side with the innocents on both sides who end up dead or whose families end up dead.
