Large Pro-Palestinian March Planned for Tomorrow

ANSWER LA will be holding a march tomorrow, partially on Wilshire Blvd., that will wrap around Westwood Village streets and stage at the Federal Building. Let GAZA Live, as they are calling it, is part of a larger National Day of Protest with other events planned throughout Southern California.

We've received no official word a counter protest from the Israeli side, but using all the other protests as an indicator, there surely will be one.

Everyone in our lovely country is free to express their ideas in non-Violent means.

I do hope that petulant children who call themselves "anarchists"* refrain from causing a ruckus. You DO realize you are subjects of the LAPD, no?

Don't tase me either and please don't confuse your "rifle from your gun." Ya git me?

*Emma Goldman would think you're lame. Quite honestly.

The term pro-Palestinian is not a good one - just like pro-life, it implies that the other side is anti-life/anti-Palestinian. I doubt that anyone on the Israeli side would describe themselves as anti-Palestinian. I'm sure every protester on either side would say that they are pro-civilian and anti-terrorist. I wonder how many, however, would admit to being pro-Hamas?

Well said, MarinaDelRey...I'd have to whole-heartedly concur with you.

This is all very conflicting to me.

While I feel much pain and anguish at seeing pictures of the victims of the Israeli Govt's actions, I also feel the pain and aguish for the victims of Hamas' actions.

I wish some group were marching for the victims on both sides.

That's who I would march with.

As far as Israeli or Hamas goes, IMO, no one holds the moral high ground in this. They both feed off of each other's hatred, and have no problem killing innocent civilians.
