    It's suppose to be an international day of solidarity toward Lebanon (not anti israel, not pro hezbollah), there should be protest in most major cities, there's one in Montreal too... thanks for posting that...

    Thanks for posting this :)

    I looked for events in my area and found out that there's a rally this afternoon at the federal building, which is right across the street from my office. I'll be there.

    Bullshit. I guarantee that will be an anti-Israel hatefest.

    I'll be sure to drop by zombietime dot com to look at the pics and read the crying. Amusing, self centred site that is.

    "Read the crying"...that makes a lot of sense.

    Anyway, all that site does is take photographs of the warped protesters. Has your picture been on there lately?

    And fear mongering rears its ugly head on the message board today to inform the masses that any support for the civilians of Lebanon is anti-Israel....sick of this crap....

    You know what? I totally agree with this statement ... too bad its probably not going to work out that way, though. Flags will be burned and anti-semitic slogans will be in abundance.

    Sad to say but I think you're right. A legitimate cause will be hijacked by fanatics.

    I am not anti-protest in any sense ... I have just observed that the lowest common denominator at these events tends to drag the whole thing down. You might have 80% of the people there to legitimately support the Lebanese civilian population ... But the other 20%, freakjobs in black masks calling for the downfall of the "Zionist state", are going to get all the press. I guess this isn't a problem with protest in general ... Its a problem with protesting in a free society. You can't prevent idiots from being idiots, unless we are talking about actual violence or rioting.

    That's not "fear mongering." Will there be any support for the civilians of Israel, or are they merely zionists who deserve to die?

    You are more than free to have your own "Hands off Isreal" rallies.

    exactly. the antiwar movement in 2002/2003 was hijacked and ruined by the "free palestine" clique, and has been ever since. all of these rallies have been come nothing more than expositions of sanctimonious, hypocritical racism.
    Anti Zionism is not Anti Semitism

    Most antizionists are antisemites

    Is this an example of sanctimonious, hypocritical racism?

    Dunno. I've got an after-birthday hangover, and the only marching I've done this morning has been to the bathroom and back.
