Annual protest in Hebron for the reopening of Shuhada Street (aparthied street). Shuhada Street lies at the centre of the ancient city of Hebron. For many years it was a busy shopping precinct, full of life. Today it is deserted. When the radical Israeli settler Baruch Goldstein shot dead 29 Palestinian worshippers at Hebron's Ibrahimi mosque in 1994, the Israeli army feared reprisals against three nearby Israeli settlements. It closed off the street to Palestinian vehicles and later Shuhada Street was blocked even for most Palestinian pedestrians.Most of the people who once lived here have left their homes. All the shops have closed, and Palestinians living in the area have to climb over roofs to reach their neighbours. In addition, they suffer violence and harrassment by settlers and soldiers, who often neglect to intervene to protect them from settler violence.

Protest against the Israeli government’s decision not to open an investigation into the killings of 13 Arab civilians (12 of them citizens of Israel) in October 2000 by the Israeli police.
A committe known as the Or Committe (Or means "light" in Hebrew) was set up to investigate the killings. Its recommendations were rejected by Israel in the end. The sign is a play on the word Or and darkness.

Lunchtime protests in support of rape victims
02 June 2006 17:16
Lunchtime demonstrations were organised around the country today to support victims of child abuse and rape.
The participants included the child victim of Mr A, the middle-aged man who was released from jail last Tuesday after the law under which he was jailed was ruled unconstitutional.
Demonstrations took place in Dublin, Galway, Castlebar, Waterford, Wexford, Kilkenny, Tralee, Ennis and Limerick.

Gardaí estimate that 500 people protested outside Leinster House in Dublin city centre. The organisers, however, say about 1,000 took part.
The Rape Crisis Network of Ireland asked each protestor to bring a white flower - symbolising the need to protect the innocence of children.
It asked people who could not get to these venues to bring white flowers to their own area's central courthouse or church.
The network said the ten-minute protest was the idea of a Dublin mother, Monica Roe from Cabinteely.
Ms Roe describes herself as 'mad with anger' at the Government, which she accuses of signalling to all victims that they should not bother reporting child abuse.
The network is also asking participants in Monday's Ladies Mini-Marathon in Dublin to wear a white armband or white flower in support of victims or survivors in what it calls 'these difficult days and into the future'.

This protest took place in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida June 5th and 6th 2005. Although the protest was inspired by George W. Bush attending the OAS meeting taking place in South Florida, the protesters had many different agendas; some of the protesters were even there in support of Bush.
The Organization of American States (OAS), or, as it is known in the three other official languages, (OEA), is an international organization, headquartered in Washington, D.C., United States of America. Its members are the thirty-five independent states of the Americas.
The notion of closer hemispheric union in the American continent was first put forward by Simón Bolívar ("The Liberator") who, at the 1826 Congress of Panama, proposed creating a league of American republics, with a common military, a mutual defense pact, and a supranational parliamentary assembly. This meeting was attended by representatives of Gran Colombia (comprising the modern-day nations of Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela), Peru, the United Provinces of Central America, and Mexico, but the grandly titled "Treaty of Union, League, and Perpetual Confederation" was ultimately only ratified by Gran Colombia. Bolívar's dream soon foundered with civil war in Gran Colombia, the disintegration of Central America, and the emergence of national rather than continental outlooks in the newly independent American republics.

Protesters causing complete mayhem this morning in the west end so I biked down to shoot some of this ruckus. Personally speaking, I think the protesters are causing more harm than good. Are they not wasting more tax money by protesting? Choppers and cops don't come cheap people.
