Here's some pics of a demo I organised at the end of last month (apologises for the amateurish face obscuring), I was quite pleased with how it turned out, it didn't cost much (about £80) to set up and we got quite a lot of fresh interest in our cause. Two useful campaigning tips I learnt that day if you can get permission painted fabric draped over the side of a largish building is cheap & eye-catching, also damp sandbags are surprisingly heavy and probably not worth the effort.

In the third pic, what does it say on that little wall on the bottom left?

I believe it says "No Arabs Allowed".

I think you are right after zooming a bit, "no" and "allowed" is clearly visible but the arab part is blurred.

It does indeed say “no Arabs allowed”, the ramshackle collection of chicken-wire, sandbags and badly painted cardboard boxes was supposed to recreate a roadblock preventing Palestinian access to a “closed military area”, on the whole we were rather happier with the banner than with the 'roadblock'.

The placement of the wall might not be the best or even particulary legal but it is undeniably effective. The terror campaign against Israel have lost much momentum since it was built.

i'm sure that the ones of people who attended the rally would disagree with you.
