Airstrip One

Only 40 000?

Two interesting reports on the (by British standards) huge pro-Israel demonstration. One from the New Statesman points out that internal Israeli politics was being played here.

Christopher Montgomery, who was oddly at both demos, says that the Israeli demonstration was a tad smaller than a similar pro-Palestinian one two weeks back. This is not a sign, I must stress, of Britain's support or otherwise of Israel - just that there are more Muslims than Jews living in or near London.
