Photos: Demonstration outside Israel Defence Ministry this evening in Tel Aviv against Gaza killings

Some Israelis are not prepared to stand idly by!

Organised by the Israeli Courage to Refuse group, some 200 people protested outside the Israeli Ministry of Defence this evening against the wanton killing in Gaza, considerably down from the 10,000 who attended last Sunday's demo but in the light of last Tuesday's protest in Jaffa and yesterday's in Tel Aviv, the numbers were still heartening.

Israeli progressives were in attendance: from Yesh Gvul/Courage to Resist activist and Nobel Peace Prize nominee, David Zonsheine, former Knesset Member, journalist and founder of peace group Gush Shalom, Uri Avnery, Israeli Anarchist Against the Wall activist, Jonathan Pollack and Yossi Guttermann of Ta'ayush (coexistence).
