Rather late in the day I know, but I found this on MPACUK's website and I'm not sure if I will be in attendance, but perhaps there are people in and around London who read this blog but not theirs. So, here's a summary of the announcement.<\/p>\n
The Friends of al-Aqsa<\/a> are holding a demo in London<\/a> on Sunday 15th January 2006<\/strong> (that probably means today<\/em>, by the time you read this). It is in protest against the support by Colin Powell for the "Jewish National Fund", "a quasi-official organisation of the Israeli state" which acquires land in Israel and rents it to Jews only. It also uses "reclaimed" – read occupied – Palestinian land for illegal settlement. Colin Powell is to be a guest speaker at their fund-raising dinner.<\/p>\n Meeting point is outside the Park Lane Hotel, 22 Park Lane, London W1 (this is the big road on the east side of Hyde Park; all buildings are on the east side of Park Lane); time is 5:30pm sharp. Nearest tube station is Hyde Park Corner (Picadilly Line). Supported by the Islamic Human Rights Commission<\/a> and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. This is to be a peaceful protest<\/strong>, and anyone who reads this is asked (by me) not to chant hostile slogans or do other things which might cast the community in a bad light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rather late in the day I know, but I found this on MPACUK's website and I'm not sure if I will be in attendance, but perhaps there are people in and around London who...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3792],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-500","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-palestine"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p17bgV-84","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blogistan.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blogistan.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blogistan.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blogistan.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blogistan.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=500"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.blogistan.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42625,"href":"https:\/\/www.blogistan.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500\/revisions\/42625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blogistan.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blogistan.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.blogistan.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
