Syria-Lebanon-Iran

Iranian students break into UK Embassy residence to protest Gaza strikes

2008-12-31

Iran's official news agency says dozens of hardline students have broken into the British Embassy residence in Teheran. The IRNA agency says the students accuse Britain of supporting Israel's air assault on the Gaza Strip. The agency says the students stormed the compound Tuesday evening and pulled down the British flag. IRNA says the students then hoisted a Palestinian flag at the compound's entrance before police forced them to leave. The news agency says the break-in lasted about an hour and that the area is now calm. No injuries were reported. British Foreign Secretary David Miliband has called for an immediate cease-fire by both Israel and Hamas.

#10 I got good news. Israel is not going to listen to Barack. Now that Israel has learned to win the media propaganda war, Israel doesn't need the U.S. Presidency to defend them around the world. Also, the Democrats wouldn't dare withholding funds or munitions to Israel. It will be political suicide.

This is a whole new day for Israel, a paradigm shift. From now on, Israel will do whatever is takes to defend her people. The only thing that can hurt Israel is, Israeli politics.

#9 the UK called for israel to quit the strikes why are they targeting them?

Because they target those who won't fight back, and as Mr. Mendiola observed, Barack ain't in office yet.
