Anti-Semitic "anti-war protest" in Cork
There were children's shoes wired to the Synagogue in Cork, yesterday, presumeably in protest against Israel's horrific attack on Lebanon.

While it is absolutely neccessary to oppose Israel's U.S. backed war of terror, synagogues are not an appropriate target for protest.
It intimidates Jewish communities and also feeds into the myth that anti-Zionism and opposition to Israeli policies and atrocities is anti-Semitism.
Please write to newspapers and call radio shows, as an anti-war activist, condemming this anti-Semitic, racist incident.
