The Saturday marches in London and elsewhere have an impact on politicians, even if many are in denial about the huge amount of public support for a permanent cease-fire and the urgent need for peace talks.
Terrible though conditions are in Gaza, news does reach the Palestinians that protesters across the world are coming out in support of an end to the bombardment. It may seem like little comfort, but it matters.
If you want to join other Lib Dems on this Saturday’s march in London, we will assemble at midday near Hyde Park Corner. You could meet us beforehand in the Lodge Cafe, marked on this map.
