VICE News on Instagram: "Thousands of people have attended pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel rallies around the world after Hamas fighters attacked Israel and Israel responded with air strikes against Gaza..Tensions flared in central London on Monday night as pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli supporters took to the streets. Pro-Palestinian protesters rallied outside the boarded-up Israeli embassy, chanting “Israel is a terrorist state” and lighting flares, while about 2,000 people attended a vigil for Israel in Westminster.Attendees from each event eventually came into contact, with footage on X showing police separating the groups at a London Underground station near the embassy.The Metropolitan Police said late on Monday that three people had been arrested – one on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker, one on suspicion of racially motivated criminal damage, and another on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon – and that further “active arrest enquiries” were underway.In New York, pro-Palestinian protesters gathered in Times Square, before a group broke off and marched to the Israeli Consulate General’s Office. New York City Mayor Eric Adams condemned the rally, where one attendee was photographed flashing a swastika on their phone.Rallies have also taken place in cities like Paris, Berlin, Chicago, Sydney, Beirut and more." | Zootzle
