The Invasion Begins: emergency protest tomorrow posted by Richard Seymour

STOP ISRAEL'S CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY
EMERGENCY PROTEST AGAINST GROUND INVASION
SECOND NATIONAL DEMONSTRATION CALLED
DAILY PROTESTS AT ISRAELI EMBASSY

Following the start of Israel's ground invasion of Gaza, an
emergency demonstration for Sunday 4 January and a daily
programme of protests has been announced, culminating in a
second national demonstration in London on Saturday 10
January. (See below for details.)

Israel is escalating its already barbaric attacks on Gaza by
sending in ground troops, which will inevitably lead to the
killing of yet more civilians, including many women and
children, and will deepen the humanitarian catastrophe which
the United Nations says Palestinians are suffering.

UN representative Richard Falk says, "The magnitude, the
deliberateness, the violations of international humanitarian
law… warrant the characterisation of a crime against
humanity."

This crime against humanity has provoked nationwide anger
and outrage in Britain, as was shown by today's
demonstrations calling for an immediate end to Israel's
attacks on Gaza, with 50,000 demonstrators in London, 4000
in Manchester, 3000 in Edinburgh, and many thousands more
around the country.
