THE CONSCIENCE OF THE PEOPLE
As Israel orders the whole population of southern lebanon to flee their homes before a full-scale invasion of Lebanon, the whole world except George Bush and Tony Blair says Israel's war crimes must stop now. Virtually every government in the world is calling for an immediate ceasefire, with the only exceptions being George Bush and his slavishly obedient servant Tony Blair. Everyone knows who the Archibishop of Canterbury was talking about when he said, ""We really do have to ask whether some western governments are catching up with the consciences of their people."
Today, 22 July 2006, that conscience of the people will be heard in emergency demonstrations all over the world. In London and other cities and towns across Britain, the protests calling for an end to Israel's crimes against humanity will say yet again to Tony Blair that his warmongering is not in the name of the British people and demand that the British government adds its voice to the call for an immediate ceasefire.
Israel is sytematically destroying two countries, Lebanon and Palestinian Gaza. None of us can stand aside in silence and watch this happen. Join the demonstrations taking place in London today and across Britain (details below), when the conscience of the British people will speak.

Few Editorials Find Fault with the Bombing of Beirut
It's one thing to endorse Israel's right to defend itself and retaliate. It's another to remain silent on the crime of causing mass destruction and civilian deaths in neutral areas of Lebanon.
