Thousands of protesters came together in Trafalgar Square to protest Israel's continuing mass slaughter of the Lebanese and Palestinian people and the British government's complicity. The event highlighted the shameful complicity of the Blair government and was organised by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and supported by groups including the Stop the War Coalition, British Muslim Initiative, and the Lebanese Welfare Community. Diverse individuals and activists called for an immediate end to Israeli violence. Other demonstrations took place throughout the UK including outside Prestwick Airport in Glasgow which has been used as a stopover for American military aircraft transporting weapons to Israel. Several other demonstrations and vigils have been planned across the UK. See www.palestinecampaign.org for details.
