Tel Aviv: Demo today at Mexican embassy

First the invitation sent this night to the mailing list of the radical left* and to the list of the Anarchists Against the Wall (in both English and Hebrew

URGENT: Demo at 15:00 today (12:00 GMT) in front of the Mexican embassy Mexican paramilitaries murdered 5 people in Oaxaca since Saturday in an attempt to break the teachers strike, and federal police forces are now moving in trying to occupy the city. The strikers are calling for mass demonstrations and resistance. Efforts are mostly centered around the university. There has also been a call for international solidarity. We'll hold a solidarity demonstration today (Monday) in front the Mexican embassy tomorrow at 15:00 - Hamered St 25 (near the carmel market). Bring signs if you can.

And we had our vigil in front of the building the Mexican embassy is located. We were about 20 people - one from the general radical left and 19 of the subscribers of the Anarchists Against the Wall list (mostly anarchists). We lighted candles and held placards with relevant content and flags with the anarchist circled A on them.

There were some educational talks with a few passers-by on the half-deserted business street. Passers-by in cars and buses read our placards. A noise "orchestra" made the occasion less sad a bit.

Surprise surprise, in contradiction to the heavy police presence, one person from the Mexican embassy approached our vigil and invited a delegation to enter the embassy... which returned after half an hour with copies of a kind of apologetic text translated by the embassy into Hebrew.
