Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
GAZA, Haringey protest- 2nd August.
Keith Flett, secretary of the Haringey TUC trade union said: “This is about human rights, it is about justice, it is about stopping the killing of civilians, including children.
“There is a significant anger in the borough about what is happening in Gaza and we want to see that turned into something practical- collecting for and sending medical aid.”

There are over 6 million Palestinian refugees. Most rot in refugee camps, without proper citizenship rights. The UN picks up the bill for most of the aid they need to live as they do not want to offend their American masters.

They are entirely true statements, but why let facts get in the way? Israel never has.

While people obviously feel strongly about the Israeli / Palestinian conflicts, maybe HOL is not the place to argue about them.

Start your boycott by turning off your computer which is no doubt full of Israeli technology.

Maybe it's time to stop looking back at cause for a moment and deal with the present. Surely the most important thing is that over a thousand people have died and many thousands more injured in the past few weeks. The Gaza Strip is a tiny area that is home to hundreds of thousands who are suffering in ways that I simply cannot imagine. There will be plenty of time for who did what and who said what but isn't the only thing that matters right now is that the people in Gaza and their neighbours Israel need to stop dying?

people in Israel aren't dying, they are celebrating their genocidal government

There have been protests in Israel against the current offensive but the media choses to not cover them. Whether it is by a rocket landing on a school or a bomb in a market place every death is a cause for sadness

Michael is right. Israelis are dying just as Palestinians are dying. The focus should be on bringing peace and stability but most people just seem intent on laying all blame on one side whether or not that results in anything positive for either side.

Perhaps another way of looking at it is if there was a famine in a country caused by a conflict, would your priority be to get food into bellies or endlessly debate who is right and who is wrong? I have my own views on the causes of the conflict between Gaza and Israel and the solution I would want to see but at this precise moment there are far more important things to do that argue about them

Yes, the focus has to be on ending the terrible situation that exists before moving on to how to achieve on a lasting solution to the cumulative grievances and injustices that have created it. The purpose of the marches and demonstrations is to mobilise international public opinion towards this end. While HoL is certainly a place to share information about such local events on Palestine, as on other issues, it may not be where we should be arguing about the rights and wrongs.
