ISRAEL EMBASSY PROTEST CANCELLED
SATURDAY 19 AUGUST 2PM
The protest planned for the Israeli Embassy in London on Saturday 19 August has
been cancelled. The rebuilding of Lebanon has begun. The Israeli Defence Forces
are leaving the country that they barely occupied but tried to break through
aerial bombardment. This was Bush and Blair’s war as much as Israel’s. They gave
Israel the green light to continue the attacks on the Lebanon, which killed more
than 1,000, injured many thousands more and destroyed the country’s
infrastructure. This is a serious setback for the US/UK project of reordering
the Middle East.
The London meeting with Lebanese journalist Omar Nachabe will take place as
advertised. This will be an opportunity to listen to an eye-witness account of
recent events in Lebanon and to hear speakers on the political implications.
