Please post.

I'm near San Francisco and would happily run down there to participate if something is going on.

What about the rest of the country?

I have to wash the blood off of my hands somehow.

2. Here's London - includes video
Demonstrators are gathered close to the Israeli embassy in London, following a day of protests across the UK against Israeli air strikes on the Gaza Strip.

Up to 5,000 protesters are involved in a stand-off with police in Kensington. Some have burned Israeli flags and thrown missiles at officers.

Earlier, up to 12,000 demonstrators marched through central London, hurling shoes at the gates of Downing Street.

The Metropolitan Police put the total number of demonstrators in London at between 10,000 and 12,000, but organisers claimed the figures was as high as 75,000.

to show our outrage over their continued rocket attacks against innocent Israeli civilians.

I know I'd be there demanding that HAMAS STOP THE BOMBING!

4. Demo In S.F yesterday Jan. 2
If you are in S.F. you missed the demo yesterday Jan. 2 against the bombing in Gaza that had more than 5,000 people.

The MSM doesn't do an adequate job telling people about upcoming demonstrations.
Check out these web sites for future actions across the country at

Yes, I know people have issues with International ANSWER, but they sure do know how to organize a demonstration.
