    Great link GeorgesII, John Pilger is an excellent journalist. I don't know how he does it, he must have so much energy to keep on reporting on the difficult stuff. He's Australian (as am I), and his book "A Secret Country" (about Australia's history, in particular about how Aborigines have been treated) is one of the most difficult books I've ever had to read, he deals with the stories that no one else wants to.

    Sorry to any Israelis on here, I have Israeli friends and certainly don't hate Israel in any way. It must be hell having to live in a state of unrest for so long. But many people including myself believe these attacks are wrong.

    This from Stop The War regarding London protests this coming week:
    --------------------------------...
    This crime against humanity has provoked nationwide anger
    and outrage in Britain, as was shown by yesterday's
    demonstrations calling for an immediate end to Israel's
    attacks on Gaza, with 50,000 demonstrators in London, 4000
    in Manchester, 3000 in Edinburgh, and many thousands more
    around the country.

    EMERGENCY DEMONSTRATION
    SUNDAY 4 JANUARY 2.00 PM
    ISRAELI EMBASSY, KENSINGTON HIGH STREET
    Following Israel's ground invasion, an emergency
    demonstration has been called for Sunday, 4th January at
    2.00 pm. (Nearest tube High Street Kensington).

    DAILY PROTESTS AT THE ISRAELI EMBASSY
    There will be daily protests at the Israeli Embassy from
    Monday 5 January to Friday 9 January, at 5.30 pm - 7.30 pm.

    NATIONAL DEMONSTRATION: SATUDAY 10 JANUARY
    The national demonstration on Saturday 10 January is planned
    to march to the Israeli Embassy. Stop the War is asking all
    its local groups outside of London to book coaches or
    arrange other transport to help make this the biggest
    demonstration yet seen in this country in the cause of
    Palestinian freedom.
