Israel-Lebanon protest this afternoon

A group of local Muslims and peace activists plan to hold a demonstration this afternoon in front of High Point Public Library.

It's the same groups that demonstrated several times last month in downtown Greensboro.

Badi Ali, President of Muslims for a Better North Carolina, said his group along with the Islamic Leaders of the Triad Youth Council and North Carolinians for Peace adn Justice in Palestine, is putting on the demonstration. The goal is to protest Israel's military action in Lebanon and raise awareness about what is happening in the Middle East.

If you'd like to join them, or see the protest, or are just curious driving by: It's expected to last from 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
