Riot police called to UK Gaza protest
42 mins ago

Angry confrontations have broken out at the Israeli Embassy in London as protesters against the bombings in Gaza gathered in demonstration.

Palestinian families and campaign supporters crammed the pavement of High Street Kensington and chanted: "Five, six, seven, eight - Israel is a terror state."

Barriers penning the demonstrators were torn down and riot police were brought in to control the crowds.

The crowds - which eventually totalled more than 1500 - waved Palestinian flags and held up placards, including some which read "holocaust in Gaza" and "no peace, no justice."

Among the protesters was Gamal Hamed, from Hammersmith, whose 23-year-old son still lives in Gaza.

The 68-year-old said: "Yesterday was the bloodiest day in my homeland's history."

He added that the protesters will "do what we can to make the world take notice. I am delighted by the number of people who have pledged their support today - we are all worried about where the conflict goes from here."

Traffic on the busy shopping street was brought to a standstill as more protesters arrived and the road was blocked off near the Embassy.

Six police vans, four police cars and territorial units from the Metropolitan Police waited to intervene as the chanting continued.

Some protesters were forcibly removed and others were seen with bloodied faces as violence erupted.

One campaigner was seen throwing a bag and what appeared to be a book over some gates towards the embassy and another was seen throwing red liquid.

Officers retreated from the immediate scene as the crowds swelled.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said several arrests have been made at the demonstration.

If I was prime Minister of Israel this Gamal Hamed would find what bloody really means.

Unfortunately, truth and justice count for very little these days.  The mindless Brits will react to these protests by condemning Israel.  The intelligent Brits will not be listened to.  More than 4 times as many Jews than muslims are assaulted in Britain annually.  And as far as I can remember, it wasn't the Jews who bombed the buses on 7/7.

These so-called protests are the lamentations of the muslamic terrorists when the skies fall upon them.

it's not really the case that the average brit hates jews more than muslims..

The Sun is the biggest selling newspaper in britain, it's  right wing and pro israel. (you might not want to pick it up though, or if you do then be careful about caught reading it, there is a naked girl on page 3 - the "page 3 girl").  

The BBC is anti israel.. The Sun has referred to the BBC as the Baghdad Broadcasting Corporation.

Muslims in britain tend to be of pakistani descent.. some bangladeshi(another muslim country, but smaller. Bangladeshis look like pakistanis but are known to be the dumbest)..  There are some muslims of indian descent.. Thing is.. they all look the same or ismilar, and in britain,  people with ancestry from those countries are known as "Asians". In contrast, black people are just known as black people - no hiphenated nonsense either like in america.

Asians exist in large numbers and are discriminated against as one entity..(e.g. white thugs would harrass them in their corner shops, calling them "pakis").  But there are dangerous asian gangs and they are in such numbers that I guess nobody messes with them.  Often they are all in their own areas which are majourity asian.  (note- nowadays corner shops are going out of business since people use supermarkets, but there are still the small newsagents open fairly long hours by indian/pakistani/bangladeshis.. they may be a dying thing, as their children go on to university )

Jews on the other hand are a minority.. on busses too, and jewish school kids face alot of problems as they wonder around in their identifiable jewish school uniform.  Jews don't tend to live in asian or black areas.  One exeption is the stamford hill community in hackney in london- an area with many blacks, and they have problems from them. (though no riots like in the usa. blacks might attack blacks just as much as they attack jews)
Most jews are in white areas.  There are white thugs - chavs - , council house types, that pick on anybody, e.g. stealing mobile phones (what you americans call cell phones).  And jewish school kids are a specific target.    

No doubt studying shylock in school and not even teaching that it is an anti-semitic play.. that kind of thing contributes to the anti-semitism.  People ca'nt criticise shylock much, they are taught to identify with shylock..as if he's just a regular jew.. so it's political correctness to defend shylock! And that harms jews.

That's just astounding!  There are only two things worth recognizing about The Merchant of Venice (3 actually, if you include the fact that it was one of Shakespeare's least important plays):  This is where we got the expression "extracting a pound of flesh".  This colloquialism is still very much in use today and it is worth knowing the origin.  The other thing worth knowing about this play is that it typifies the gentile perspective on the Jews in the context of the high renaissance.  There was nothing particularly risque about Shakespeare's caricature of Shylock.  This is how they viewed Jews at the time.  The play is anti-Semitic only insofar as society was anti-Semitic at that time.  It is important to recognize the context of the character Shylock as emblematic of the English view of the Jews.  But to teach the Merchant of Venice as just another Shakespearean play is to miss the essential element of it.

Sun is like the Bild-newspaper in Germany, I suppose. BILD is pro-Israel and have this naked girl too.  

[mord]

Whats with the naked girl newspapers in Europe?Bild in Germany the Sun in U.K. I'm sure other newspapers in Europe have the same style.In the U.S. luckily we don't have such newspapers

[Lisa]

There should be a bunch of Jews counter protesting those pigs. 

[muman613]

Why do Jews only go out to protest for the cause of the blacks, africans, mexicans, and asians? Jews have seldom gone out to protest against the aggression against Israel. We don't go out to support our own brothers and sisters who are being tormented by these islamo-nazi bastards. I really wonder what is wrong with us. I hope that we can get together soon and make them see our side.

Look here Muzzies protest in Israel that sedition they should be shot and deported.     

Police chief doesn't foresee return to October 2000 riots

Arab-Israelis hold dozens of rallies in protest of IDF offensive in Gaza; 'Arab leaders must convey a message of calm and restraint,' Dudi Cohen says

Following dozens of protests staged by Arab-Israelis on Sunday against the Israeli offensive in Gaza, Police Commissioner Dudi Cohen held a security assessment at the Northern District, after which he asked Arab leaders to call for restraint and cooperate with the police.

 
Two children were lightly injured when a demonstrator fired into the air during one of the rallies in Umm al-Fahm. A 57-year-old resident of Afula was lightly injured from stones thrown at him in the Arab-Israeli city, and two Jews were rescued by police after being attacked by locals.

During the rally in Umm al-Fahm demonstrators waved black flags and PLO flags and shouted, "Jews – know that Muhammad was here before you" and, "In spirit and in blood we will save Gaza."

 
Arab-Israeli demonstrators in Dir al-Asad were dispersed with water hoses, and three of them were detained. Protestors threw stones at police officers in east Jerusalem and Kfar Qana, while additional disturbances were reported in the south Jerusalem neighborhood of Beit Safafa, where youths set tires on fire.

 
In the evening hours some 700 people protested in the northern Arab-Israeli town of Fureidis, and about 400 more held a rally in Haifa. PLO flags were waved in both demonstrations.

 
"We prepared in advance for such scenarios," Police chief Cohen said. "I do not fear a return to the October 200 riots. Those took place at the beginning of the decade; we've all matured since then. The public has matured, we've learned our lessons; everyone knows this is a completely different situation. The Arab public has responsible leaders."

 

According to him, no less than 12,000 officers have been deployed in the various districts; their presence will be maintained at least for the next 48 hours, when Cohen is expected to hold another security assessment.

 
"I am calling on the leaders of the Arab public to convey a message of calm and restraint; we all want these incidents to end with no casualties, and therefore the cooperation between the Arab leaders and police is crucial," Cohen said.

"We live in a democratic country where everyone has the right to be heard, but we will not allow anything beyond the regular protests."

 
Eighteen police officers have been injured and more than 50 rioters have been detained since the IDF launched its aerial attacks on Gaza.
