demonstration: galleries

More excellent images shared with us thanks to you, Vero. And so good to see our brave Jewish friends with us as usual. So many hearts around the world are with the people of Gaza now. It is difficult to imagine the anguish of this hour, and words seem so futile. I wish ill on no-one. I wish for a just world for everyone. I wish for peace. Thank you again, Vero.

Woohoo! Glad to see so many people demonstrating against the Gaza conflict.

Thank you Vero and Faruk for these poignant images. I feel that I cannot speak about the unspeakable. My heart goes out to the people of Gaza. My heart goes out to all of the people who suffer to bring peace through justice for all.

I totally support you guys. I think goverments must talk about the differences that are creating this unreasonable war that is taking place in Gaza.

well said - and check this clip on the tank man for a very moving account of that single act of defiance and herorism:

Iconic. One of the most important images of the 20th Centuary.

It shows what a single act of non-violent action can achieve - yes the tanks eventually rolled on, but that single act of defiance against violent repression shook the dictators. Is it a co-incidence that in November of the same year, Berliners were confident about climbing their wall and defying the East German border guards? And gradually the iron curtain fell? I don't think so. When people under oppression realise that when as one they can ahieve freedom (sadly, even with some sacrifices), it changes everything. And those of us who live in freedom must be there to support and help when the time comes.
