I am against the Isreals outragious claims of riddculing and defending their nation from terrorism. The fact is that Isreal broke a Cease-fire against the Palastine nation, which WAS NOT reported by New York Times, CNN, BBC [I wonder why (sarcasm)]. I also wonder why Isreal needs another 3000 tons of ammunition/weapons to defeat the palastine terrorists when they already have the most up to date weapons from Aircraft carriers, tanks, etc etc from the “freedom and rightous nation of America.

I’m protesting but not with Leung Kwok-hung because he is clearly doing this not for the intrests of the Palastine citizens but himself.

The 11th demonstration in HK was joined by a lot of
ethnic minorities and quite a few of them are HK citizens. When we proceeded I saw a lot of onlookers. Hopefully the protest can arouse people’s awareness
and consequently more actions to help end Israeli government’s violence and a true independence for the Palestinian people.

Thanks for the words and the link.

There is a demostration in Hong Kong which is initiated by two students from the Hong Kong University and several hundreds people join the protest today. However, most of the protesters are foreigners from Pakistan, Indonesia and other European countries. There are only few Hong Kong residents or mainland Chinese to take part in the event.

Glad to see the Chinese and (Hong Kong-ese?) perspective on what’s happening in Gaza. Thanks for this.

Nice recompilation work!

I think that these points of view clearly exemplify the way that Chinese think: Indifference (or unawareness), nationalism, ideologies based on media and a few (very few) critic points of view.

Apart from Chinese’s ideologies, everyone should take part on this and do something; it doesn’t matter if it is a big contribution or a small one.

Thanks for your article,
Peace,
David
