ISRAEL and Palestine protesters have clashed in London as thousands of pro-Palestine supporters descended on the Israeli embassy.<\/p>\n
Cops have arrested three people after desperately trying to keep the peace during the furious demonstration.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
Chaos erupted at High Street Kensington Tube station in West London as people threw fireworks, some directly at the embassy.<\/p>\n
Pro-Palestine supporters scaled bins and lampposts with flags and flares, banging drums and chanting "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free".<\/p>\n
Those supporting Palestine at the demonstration told MailOnline there is "no way to change the Middle East peacefully".<\/p>\n
Meanwhile mourners visited Downing Street to hold a vigil for Israelis who have been killed or taken by Hamas terrorists in the conflict.<\/p>\n
Protesters scaled a building and scrawled "free Palestine" on the side of its wall with spray paint.<\/p>\n Activist group the Socialist Worker turned up with several stalls, selling its newspapers and calling for people to sign a petition to end the "arming [of] Israel apartheid".<\/p>\n A police officer said: "We just hope that the two groups don't meet and pro-Israeli activists arrive here too \u2013 then it will be chaos."<\/p>\n But some Israeli's did come to the area, and as tensions heated up police were forced to step in.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Cops had to herd members of each group onto different tube platforms to force them apart.<\/p>\n The furious mood became difficult to contain especially when one Israeli group held up an Israeli flag against the window as their tube pulled out of the station.<\/p>\n Brit Patricia Ryan, who was at the rally with her Palestinian husband, told MailOnline "We feel that there had to be a huge tectonic movement for any change to occur in the Middle East. <\/p>\n "75 years is a long time. Nothing, nothing was happening.<\/p>\n "It's sad to say there's no way to do it peacefully. Every avenue has been tried and failed.<\/p>\n "Boiling point for Palestinians has been there for a long time. Now of course very quickly the Israelis are feeling that pressure, that terrible sense of danger that the Palestinians deal with day in day out."<\/p>\n Another pro-Palestine supporter said that "Israel has done terrible things before" and the "whole world has been silent for so long".<\/p>\n He added: "I'm not justifying any action that ends human life. Everyone wants peace and harmony. But one side has land, power and everything and one side has nothing.<\/p>\n "They have a right to have land, freedom and a livelihood. We don't encourage violence. We want peace and co-existence.<\/p>\n "Israel has the support of largest economy in world most powerful economy – western society. They have no voice."<\/p>\n Suella Braverman previously urged police to step in and prevent anti-Jewish violence as the Israeli embassy was boarded up on Monday.<\/p>\n The Met ramped up patrols in Jewish areas of London after videos circulating online appeared to show people celebrating the attacks by Hamas.<\/p>\n Pupils at some Jewish schools have also been warned not to wear their blazers carrying the school logo.<\/p>\n A Met spokesperson said it had "increased policing patrols across parts of London in order to provide a visible presence and reassurance to our communities".<\/p>\n Rishi Sunak also visited a London synagogue to show his support for Israel and condemned Hamas in a strong statement this evening.<\/p>\n The British prime minister said the "barbaric acts" committed by Hamas were "evil".<\/p>\n "There is no other word to describe what we have have seen," he said.<\/p>\n "Teenagers at a festival of peace gunned down in cold blood. Innocent men, women and children abducted, raped, slaughtered.<\/p>\n "Even a Holocaust survivor taken away as a captive. And much of the sickening evidence posted online.<\/p>\n "There are not two sides to these events. There is no question of balance. I stand with Israel.<\/p>\n "We stand with Israel, the United Kingdom stands with Israel against this terrorism today, tomorrow and always."<\/p>\n At the mosque he said: "I wanted to come here tonight to stand with you in solidarity in Israel's hour of need.<\/p>\n "As the Prime Minister of this country, I'm unequivocal. The people who support Hamas are fully responsible for this appalling attack.<\/p>\n "They are not militants. They are not freedom fighters. They are terrorists."<\/p>\n Over 1,500 people in\u00a0Israel\u00a0and Gaza have been killed since the Palestinian terrorist group stormed the border on Saturday and\u00a0massacred hundreds in a surprise attack.<\/p>\n Hamas terrorists launched an\u00a0all-out attack on Israel\u00a0from land, air and sea with 5,000 rockets fired during the early hours of Saturday morning.<\/p>\n Israel hit back with relentless airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, as the state plans to unleash an extensive ground invasion in the coming days.<\/p>\n And footage has recently emerged of\u00a0Hamas savages beheading captive Israeli soldiers\u00a0in horrific acts dubbed "worse than ISIS" by Israel.<\/p>\n So far, at least 900 people have been killed in Israel while more than 600 are confirmed dead in Gaza – with the death toll set to soar on both sides.<\/p>\n<\/picture>TERROR THREATS <\/span><\/p>\n
