Left-wing activists protest against Rafah incident

Hundreds of left-wing activists on Wednesday staged demonstrations in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa in protest over the Rafah attack in which eight Palestinian protestors were killed by the Israel Defense Forces.

The Tel Aviv rally was held across the street from the Ministry of Defense. The protest was organized by the Courage to Refuse group along with other left-wing organizations.

The protestors marched from the defense ministry to Masarik Square, waving black flags and signs that read "Philadelphi route - a death trap," and shouting: "This is an army that has lost its moral legitimacy." Ten protestors were arrested in clashes with police forces after they blocked a street. Among those arrested was reserve Captain David Zonenshein - one of the initiators of the officers' letter of refusal to serve in the territories.

Dozens of protesters demonstrated near the prime minister's official residence in Jerusalem. In Haifa a few dozen Jewish and Arab protesters held a rally against the Gaza attack, playing out a mock house demolition.

Otherwise, there should be a continuous vigil of at least 10,000 people outside the WH until election day.

I did read an article on Germany's Indymedia about 250.000 protesting in Tel Aviv (the organizers talked about 400.000!)on may 15., using slogans like: "Leave Gaza, start to talk!"
And it was a report directly from Tel Aviv???
