A few video snippets of the pro-Israel rally. The pro-Israel side sounded like a pep-rally, a celebration; while the pro-Hamas side sounded like second graders learning the multiplication table - the organizer speaks into the loundspeaker and the rest repeat what they heard.

Israeli soldiers and Palestinians fought sporadic clashes in the West Bank and Gaza Strip on Wednesday despite an agreement under U.S. pressure to halt fighting that has shattered Middle East peace making.

"The Israeli bombs and rockets streaking through the skies of Gaza trace not only a path of death and terror for Palestinians in 2009, they also outline the smoke trails of traumas past, from the Nakba, or 'catastrophe,' in 1948 to the 1967 war; from the Lebanon invasions, to the 2002 assault on Jenin. All are echoes of today's calamity of US-made missiles and mortars raining down on Gazans.
Watching history repeat itself is, of course, most horrifying for the people through whose roofs the missiles are falling, whose children are dying. For the outsider, peering in from a safe perch, it is merely surreal.
We look on as Israel replays the tape-loop of its brutal and tragic follies. Israel has shown again and again that, rather than vanquishing its enemies, it makes new ones while strengthening old ones." -Sandy Tolan

"Many children were amongst the protestors in Trafalgar Square, in London, on the 17th January 2007 to protest against the Israeli attacks on Gaza"
I have published a photo about the rally in Trafalgar Square to support the people in Gaza. As usual I have completed the photo with some thoughts, to give more than words and more than an image, yet I believe that reaction were mixed in some cases.
I am not here to judge Israeli or Palestinians, I do not have the key and the knowledge to do it and I am not the most appropriate person to dig into a religious matter. Nonetheless I have my own ideas, I am personally against the war and I think that whoever kills children is on the wrong side.
Moreover I fear that there is no interest in actively seeking peace in Middle East, because the condition for it are far from being reached. There is no trust, no interest in opening a new negotiation and so on, from both the party involved. I am not blaming anyone, the past is a very heavy burden to carry and no one wants to forgive and forget.
In the past we have seen wars going on for hundreds of years, and this is no different. I will still look for peace, I will still hope that one of the sides will elect a Great person that will be able to do what everyone else has failed trying. In the meantime I watch them, understanding their position and thinking that the history is teaching once more that the history is not teaching anything....
I am posting this photo as my first 7th wave. It is a strange composition, a lot of negative space and even if I love it, I feel it is different...
