After a weekend of intense fighting in the Middle East UNISON says...

"There has to be an immediate ceasefire in the Lebanon, Gaza and Israel to stop further loss of life among innocent women, children and men.Our government should have had the guts last week to call for an immediate ceasefire before the weekend’s carnage.Our government should have the guts now to call for that immediate ceasefire. “As soon as possible” is too late.We in UNISON cannot understand our government’s lack of action. What is our government waiting for?"

There are now a thousand dead over 900 lebanese (most of them civilians) and more than 80 Israelis( most of them soldiers)

Congratulations to Stop the War coalition for organising such a well attended demo with a weeks notice. Over 50 thousand people attended the rally in London.
