Thousands Protest Gaza Strikes In London, Paris
[Ynet] Demonstrators crowd streets outside Israeli Embassy, French Foreign Ministry, call for end to Israeli 'massacre' in the Gazoo Strip.
Unimpressive. Remember the million or so who came out against the invasion of Iraq in 2003? This isn't anything more than some housewives and office workers getting a bit of fresh air and sunshine on their lunchbreak. Call us when the crowd sizes reach six figures.
La Belle France has both Western Europe's largest Jewish community and its largest Mohammedan population, and the French government has been walking a careful line on the Gazoo developments.

President Francois Hollande
...the Socialist president of La Belle France, an economic bad joke for la Belle France but seemingly a foreign policy realist...
 issued a statement earlier this week in support of Israel that prompted criticism because it failed to mention Paleostinian victims.

He later spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyau and Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
, then issued new statements expressing support for each and concern for all victims. He condemned violence and urged a return to peace talks.

In London, a spokeswoman for Prime Minister David Cameron
... has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite, which means he's not. Since he is not deeply ideological he lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger, but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ...
 said earlier he supported Israel in the face of attacks by Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, against Israeli civilians.
