Protests in UK at Israeli action

Thousands of people across the UK are joining demonstrations against Israeli attacks on Lebanon.

...Police estimated that 7,000 people were taking part in the rally in London but organisers had earlier thought that between 5,000 and 15,000 people would attend, while the Stop The War Coalition said it was expecting between 500 to 1,000 people at the Manchester rally.
The London protest grew larger by the time it reached the US embassy, where about 50 uniformed police officers and metal barricades also prevented the march from accessing the main door.
Marchers shouted slogans at the embassy in Grosvenor Square, such as "George Bush, terrorist" and "Down down USA."
The flag of Lebanon and other banners, including a handful of Hezbollah flags, were also waved in the direction of the building...

...A spokesman for the protests said: "Israel's war in Gaza and Lebanon is escalating into an international crisis which could soon engulf the whole region.
"The promise by Bush and Blair, in the lead up to the Iraq war, that their wars would bring freedom and democracy to the Middle East and peace to Palestine have yet again been shown to be lies, just as the anti-war movement has consistently said they were." ...http://tinyurl.com/qo58m
