Not bad! The reporters made the protest out to be a lot more violent than the pictures suggested, but on the whole coverage was good.
Even on the rabidly pro-Israel Fox News you seemed to get the point across that you were out protesting against oppression by Israel; that's despite too misrepresentations from Fox: 1. that all the protesters were Palestinians (may have been a slip of the tongue), 2. that you were from Islamist groups (no chance that this one was a slip of the tongue). The second one shocked me, but at least this protest meant that Fox viewers perhaps have some awareness that Palestinians are suffering - nothing else in their coverage today would suggest that.
Keep it up this week - hopefully I'll be joining you on Saturday.
May God help everyone in Gaza.

slight concern

So wheres that going to lead?
Will they go "oh dear a firework, I must run away and hide against these overwhelming odds"?
Possibly next time they will just use the TSG, in force. Violence breeds violence.
Ghandi managed to gain a whole country on the strength of peacefull protest, Chinese revolution killed millions in a whilewind of pointless violence that served no one but a few at the top.
If the cops think that they are going to come under attack from expolsives they will react poorly.
If you love violence so much and want to take some direct action, try following the ideals of those who confronted facism in the Spanish civil war and go to the country itself and get on the front lines.
Harry Purvis
Because Ghandi was a pillar of success for the far left.

Much like in all other independence bids, the foreign ruling class would leave, only for the native ruling class to take their place.
But his worst crime of all, the lie he's perpetuated that our voices are our greatest weapons, not our armaments. Reforms will only take you so far, but for complete freedom, blood will inevitably be shed before we can rid ourselves of our masters. Do you really believe the state would ever concede its power?

what?

Reminds me of an article i read about the Irish police having to warm the water up in their water canons because rioters were complaining it was giving them a severe chill and could give them hypothermia.

Most violence comes from the "forces of order".

On the other hand, when violent right-wing demonstrators in Venezuela (or in Serbia under Milosevich) are restrained by the police, the same media will talk about "police violence against peaceful demonstrators".

I want show support with you though because you sound like a mindless thug telling "people like me in this country" what i should be doing with myself. I'll do what i want to do. Im sick of people like you telling me what i can and can't do. Always trying to threaten or cajole people into you own way of thinking. I dont want to riot i want to clean up your mess so we dont live like the abjabs with nothing but destruction
