Antiwar Update...

Reuters reports 2,000 protestors on the anti-war demonstration in Tel Aviv at the weekend, although the UK press don't appear to have picked up on it, even though the Washington Post did.

The website of the Israeli daily paper Haaretz reports that police have arrested 12 members of Anarchists Against the Wall after 40 anti-war activists attempted to blockade the entrance to an Israeli Air Force Base in the north of the country. Haaretz also estimates the number of anti-war protestors at weekend at 5,000:
