Demonstration to support Gaza during november 2012 israeli assault. A large palestinian flag is held by the demonstrators, on the stairs of the Opera of Paris. Paris, 24.11.2012.
Sometimes, it appears that the faces of people do not fit the situation. That doesn't means that people doesn't care. That can be only the time of a glance with a friend, the time of a funny anecdote...
However, I am often puzzled during french demonstrations: people seem to spend such a good time that demonstrations reveal less anger of injustice than pleasure to be together.
