Thai Muslims protest Israel's attack on Gaza

By The Nation

Hundreds of Thai Muslims demonstrated Monday in front of Israel's embassy in Bangkok, burning the Israeli flag as they called on the international community to condemn the invasion.

About 400 members of the Muslim Group for Peace, waving Thai flag and holding placard reading "Free Gaza Now", "Stop the bloodshed, and "Israel is the Real Axis of Devil".

Others were holding posters of children throwing rocks at Israeli soldiers, and the damages inflicted on Gaza and its residents. A poster of Hassan Nasrallah, the Shiite leader of Hezbollah, stood out among the crowd. Hezbollah, backed by Iran and Syria, is a powerful Lebanese militia that fought a vicious ground war with Israel in 2006.
