Not in the news! Tel Aviv: anti war protest on Sunday

Read about the Israeli Peace march in which about 1000 people participated (source of news and picture Ynet)


This featured in the Israeli papers Haaretz and Yediot Ahronot, but not on the BBC, Sky or even CNN.

Presumably the existence of a Zionist Peace and Anti War Movement movement in Israel is bad news as it does not fit not the image of ugly Zionism many have, or others who wish Israel to fight Islam for them (U.S.)?


However what we need is similar marches and protests in
Gaza and Lebanon!

I myself asked Peace Now UK to cancel my request for membership, because the UK branch (unlike its Israeli and American branches) has been more or less silent in the last six crucial weeks.

Organizations mentioned to be present in demonstration yesterday

Gush Shalom Israeli Peace Bloc
New Profile. Movement for the Civilization of Israel
Hadash (Wikipedia on Hadash)
Ta'ayush Israeli / Palestinian Partnership Group
Yesh Gvul (Organization for soldiers refusing to serve in Occupied territories)
The Women's Coalition for Peace (Palestinian and Israeli)Mossawa, The Advocacy Center for Arab Citizens in Israel.

Postscript: On 21st of July BBC worldservice for the first time reported on an Israeli Peace demonstration in Haifa the same day.
