Violent protests at Israeli Embassy in London

[The Master]

Violent confrontations broke out at the Israeli Embassy in London today as up to 1,500 protesters against Israel's Gaza campaign gathered in a vociferous demonstration.

Campaign supporters, Palestinians and British Muslims stood on the pavement of High Street Kensington, west London, and chanted in unison: “Five, six, seven, eight - Israel is a terror state.”

Riot police were brought in to control the crowd, some of whom turned violent. Witnesses said some protestors 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, and some appeared to be trying to break through barriers to access the embassy.

This is really going to get ugly. If it was any other country, it wouldn't be a problem. When Georgia was pressuring South Osetia, and Russia put the smack down on them, there was a lot of talk from politicians and the media but no substantial protesting or violence. But, when Israel defends themselves from constant mortar and rocket attacks, there are riots. Quite the double standard if you ask me.

This is what happens when you keep bowing to the muslims. Israel may very well show the full amount of her strength with this opperation, and remind the muslim world that they are the most powerful army in the region, with some very powerful friends who have given them some nice discount rates on fun toys.

They make a pretty significant amount of fun toys on their own.

Yes they do.
