1/12 Is this an example of terrorism?
"The problem was, how do you find the people on the blacklist? It's not
like you had their address and telephone number. The normal procedure
would be to go into a village and just grab someone and say, 'Where's
Nguyen so-and-so?' Half the time the people were so afraid they would
say anything. Then a Phoenix team would take the informant, put a
sandbag over his head, poke out two holes so he could see, put commo
wire around his neck like a long leash, and walk him through the
village and say, 'When we go by Nguyen's house scratch your head.'
Then that night Phoenix would come back, knock on the door, and say,
'April Fool, motherfucker.' Whoever answered the door would get wasted.\
As far as they were concerned whoever answered was a Communist,
including family members. Sometimes they'd come back to camp with
ears to prove that they killed people."

\_ As much as the last administration tried to claim the
contrary, protest is not terrorism.

Organisers said more than 250,000 people marched through Spain's capital of Madrid, with other European cities including Athens, Brussels, Rome, Naples Frankfurt, Munich and Berlin also the focal points of protesters. The protest in Madrid was the largest of demonstrations across Europe, although there were expressions of both support and opposition for the Israeli offensive in Gaza.

Protesters burned an Israeli flag during the demonstration. In London's Trafalgar Square, up to 15,000 demonstrators called for an end to Hamas rocket attacks on Israel and voiced support for Israeli attempts to protect the country's citizens. Signatories included Baroness Julia Neuberger and Rabbi Tony Bayfield, the head of Britain's Movement for Reform Judaism. A few thousand people in Italy marched in pro-Palestinian rallies in Rome, Naples and Verona. In Rome, municipal authorities erased graffiti - including Stars of David and swastikas - that were scrawled on Jewish-owned stores and restaurants overnight. Violent Gaza protests reveal how gentle civilised Britain has changed into something very ugly indeed A total of more than 3,000 people joined protests in support of Israel in the German cities of Frankfurt, Munich and Berlin. In Athens, dozens of children, and their parents, carrying effigies and photos of bloodied children marched in the Greek capital to protest at continued Israeli operations in Gaza. Other demonstrations were held in the Phillipines and Jakarta and other cities across the world. Thousands turned up for protests in Trafalgar Square on Sunday Thousands turned up for protests in Trafalgar Square on Sunday The demonstrations passed off peacefully compared to violence seen in London on Saturday. Violent clashes occurred between police and around 20,000 protesters outside the Israeli Embassy - with an estimated 100,000 protesters airing their views around the city. Windows were smashed and policemen were injured - with one officer knocked unconscious in the running battles and two requiring treatment for facial injuries. A Starbucks coffee shop was completely wrecked as protesters went on the rampage in Kensington. It is hoped a further demonstration today in London's Trafalgar Square will be more peaceful as thousands of pro-Israeli demonstrators "reclaim the public space" from their political opponents. Yesterday's protesters - mainly young men - knocked down barriers threw missiles including eggs, red paint, sticks and shoes as 300 officers in full riot gear tried to maintain the peace. The violence, which broke out in front of the Israeli Embassy, appeared to be led by a hard-core of masked and hooded youths. A national demonstration against Israel's attack marched from Speakers' Corner at Hyde Park today to the Israeli embassy in High Street Kensington. It was estimated there were around 100,000 protesters in total across London, including the Trafalgar Square, Hyde Park and Kensington protests. During today's demo, protesters waved Israeli flags and placards bearing the slogan "End Hamas Terror!" and cheered speakers who defended Israel's actions in Gaza. A small group of counter-demonstrators gathered on one side of the Square chanting anti-Israeli slogans under the watchful eyes of police, attracting some retaliatory chanting from the pro-Israeli demonstrators.

We are here because we believe in peace, because we believe in life, and because we want peace in life. "We want the people of Israel to have peace, and the people of Gaza to have peace." On Saturday there was a heavy police presence lining the route taken by the protesters. Chanting 'free, free Palestine', the crowd was led through the streets of London by a vocal group of largely young men. A Starbucks coffee shop in the area was stripped of chairs and had its front windows smashed, and protestors also removed fittings from the shop. Residents living in flats above watched the scenes from their windows, and many people pleaded with police to let them out of the cordon. At one point, the protesters were seen to throw shoes at mounted police posted in the Notting Hill area. The march ground to a halt outside the Israeli embassy as tens of thousands of people surged past carrying placards. At a number of points, officers asked some of the noisier and more enthusiastic protesters to 'calm down'. There was pushing and shoving between protesters and police in riot gear outside the embassy building. Demonstrators chanted noisily and tossed shoes over the heads of the police ranks towards the embassy.
