#GazaUnderAttack protests outside BBC Offices in MediaCityUK on 12 July 2014
This is the first time I have attended protests since 2003, when 2 million people couldn't prevent the bloodlust of the UK and US governments.
First protest was tiny, around 200/300 people in Manchester Picadilly Gardens.
The second one was larger, in MediaCityUK, outside the BBC offices. It was also protesting the very biased coverage that the BBC has broadcast, which seemed to be limited to humanising the Israelis and defending their "right" to destroy Gaza to an extent that even Israeli newspapers like Haaretz were less biased.
This one was bigger, but once again not of a size that it should have been

Something the hardest thing in the world is to critise the communities you belog to. That is why all of these people are heroes:

I'm glad to have seen this picture because I honestly would not have imagined so many Jews against it - more fool me.
Here's a great story from Israel http://m.forward.com/articles/201500/#EyalGiladNaftaliMuhammed

Yes. It isn't easy for them to speak up either - see what happens after some do:

I do not understand why Stop The War marches with people who support Hamas. Hamas loves the war.
So much for being a democracy eh, I hope he's ok

Ive been told by someone that that video was from May, not from now. Still very brave of him.
(It has also been suggested the New York pictures may be from the last time Israel assaulted Gaza, in 2012, and not from now.)
