	Israel Advocates Of Shared Parenting Applaud Fathers 4 Justice Lincoln Memorial Protest
		At least two British Fathers 4 Justice activists were arrested as they protested gender bias discrimination and lack of access to their children at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC on Friday.

		Two members of the fathers' rights pressure group Fathers 4 Justice, Guy Harrison and Ron Davis, threw two condoms filled with purple-dyed flour into the chamber of the House of Commons, one of which hit Prime Minister Tony Blair.
		Whilst throwing the bombs (reported to be made from either self-raising or corn flour), one of the organisation members shouted, "Fathers for justice!" Fathers 4 Justice spokesman Matt O'Connor later explained the choice of colour, stating that "purple is the international colour of equality".
		The members of Fathers 4 Justice who perpetrated the incident were, however, vouched for by The Baroness Golding, a member of the House of Lords, which allowed them into an unscreened area.
