------------------------------------------------------------


 
Protests against the assault on Gaza continue around the world. Tens of
thousands of people took part in a global day of action on Saturday. In
London, the turnout was estimated to be at least 20,000 as demonstrators
marched to Hyde Park. In South Africa, an estimated 50,000 people
marched in Cape Town, led by Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Police called it
the city's largest rally since the fall of apartheid. In Israel,
hundreds of Israelis defied a police ban to rally in Tel Aviv. In New
