Mostly Lebonese who really dont like the idea that Israel has a great capability of defending itself instead of allowing itself to be pushed into the sea and murdered and butchered by the Arab peoples around them including the Lebonese.
Anti-war protesters gather
SEVERAL thousand people have gathered in the centre of Sydney, calling on the world to "give peace a chance" in the Middle East.
Protesters carrying Australian and Lebanese flags and placards have converged on Town Hall and blocked off George Street, in Sydney's CBD.
Organisers are expecting up to 20,000 people to rally today and demand an end to Israel's attack on Lebanon and Palestine.
They have stressed today's protest will be a peaceful one and have warned demonstrators not to burn flags.
"For the sake of everyone and for the sake of the people we are trying to support (those in Lebanon) – they don't want this to be violent. They have had enough violence," an unnamed organiser told the crowd.
After 1pm (AEST), the crowd will march down George Street to King Street and into Martin Place.
