Israel and Palestine supporters are separated by police at London Tube station as thousands of pro-Palestine protesters light flares and chant outside Israel's embassy - while weeping Israelis gather in Downing Street for vigil
  • 7 months ago
Palestinian and Israeli supporters have clashed at a London Underground station as police desperately try and keep the peace on a night where hundreds of pro-Palestine protesters have descended on the Israeli embassy. Video showed dozens of police officers attempting to divide demonstrators at High Street Kensington Tube station while a pro-Palestine rally took place outside. Fireworks were seen being launched by pro-Palestine protesters on High Street Kensington - some towards the boarded up Israeli embassy - while many were unable to push through heaving crowds. It coincided with Israelis gathering outside Downing Street to hold a vigil for the victims and hostages taken by Hamas after the terror group launched its violent assault over the Gaza border on Saturday. In Kensington, pro-Palestine protesters chanted 'Israel is a terrorist state' and 'Allahu akhbar', with stalls set up touting 'Free Palestine' merchandise in the upmarket shopping district.
