Disclaimer first.
It took this long to get these pictures to the Newswire simply because I shot so many (644 images), so it's taken quite some time to sift through them all and pick out the good stuff.
I'll be publishing them in several parts, as there is a lot of pictures to work through. They will also be in the order they were taken in each installment, so hopefully some kind of visual narrative will emerge as a result.

On Tuesday night of this week (06-01-2009), despite the temperature outside being minus figures, a room in Friends Meeting House, Cambridge was packed out by a couple of hundred people who wanted to hear another side of the story about the bombs being dropped on Gaza. Another side of a story that the media doesn't always tell, quite often preferring to portray things as 'a Palestinian problem'.

While hundreds of thousands of people across the planet showed their solidarity today with the Palestinians currently being outgunned and massacred by a misguided Israeli government by taking to the streets of many cities, for those that couldn't join the massed ranks of protestors in London, they braved the freezing weather today in the middle of Cambridge to join an extremely well attended vigil.

Protest Against the Israeli Ambassador's Visit to Warwick Uni Campus Tomorrow
We've learnt that Ron Prosor, the Israeli Ambassador to the UK, will be speaking on Warwick Campus tomorrow at midday, as part of the Limmud conference. Clearly this is very short notice - it's been kept under wraps as far as I can tell. If you can make it along to protest, then please do, it's really important to have a presence, given the current situation.

To highlight just how dubious many of the exhibitors at this event are, some activists decided to go along today.
