Yes, the French are making a mark at home and abroad as marching for Gaza and occupying a street in Cairo..Sad to think there are no other demos in Europe or elsewhere.. BTW, OJ was was given the boot on Mondo.
"I drove by the French embassy on my way downtown at 7AM. There seemed to be some hundreds of people sleeping in sleeping bags on a 4 or 5 metre footpath across the embassy’s wide frontate. There were perhaps one or two hundred riot police standing shoulder to shoulder facing them, motionless… none of them even slouching. I got to the small hotel where I do some reservations work for my wife’s favorite relative. The Gaza protest guests who had checked out yesterday or the day before were back in large numbers, having, surprise, surprise, surprise, been refused permission to cross into Gaza. Some large contingent of French participants was said to have gone to the French embassy to sit-down and protest the absence of a French government statement on the issue or something." http://antonyloewenstein.com/
