A huge protest is being organised for 5PM outside the Israeli Embassy this evening in London and another in New York. Do not imagine this is being organised by human rights activists and people of goodwill to offer solidarity with the Israeli people after a series of deadly terrorist attacks yesterday. Of course not.

The protest is being organised by, among other MPACUK, and is being billed as: “EMERGENCY DEMO AGAINST ISRAELI ASSAULT ON GAZA!”. Commenting on the issue on Twitter, Raza Nadim of MPACUK described “zionists” as “the most vile animals to walk the earth.”

Earlier this week, Turkish warplanes and artillery shelled 168 locations withing Northern Iraq after suspected PKK terrorist ambushed a Turkish military convoy killing eight soldiers and a guard and wounding fifteen. They did this fairly quietly, and not bothered by international calls for “restraint” and “proportionality” and were met with no global protests, and certainly none in London, or New York.

Yesterday, more than 20 Palestinian terrorists targeted civilian vehicles travelling near the Egyptian border. Launching five simultaneous attacks, in one instance, they targeted a family car with an anti-tank rocket killing the whole family including two small children.

In another attack on a civilian bus several off-duty soldiers where killed prompting Ali Abunimah of ‘Electronic Intefida’ to quip (fatuously, one hopes, but it may simply have been insanely) via Twitter that “Reports say ‘civilian’ bus had many soldiers aboard. Does this mean Israel uses its own civilians as human shields as well as Palestinians?” (As an aside, the demented Ali also noted on Twitter “Egypt regime still killing Africans for Israel” commenting on a news story that “Egyptian forces killed two Sudanese refugees trying to cross into Israel. Of course, he does not ask himself why African refugees don’t stop in Egypt or head for Gaza. Sane people know the answer.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no Israeli Embassy in New York. There's a Consulate General's office in mid-town, but it's almost 10:00pm here, and there's nothing in the news about any sort of protest tonight.
