Scotland Yard arrest 10 protesters outside Israeli embassy

Military and Security 12/29/2008 12:39:00 AM

LONDON, Dec 28 (KUNA) -- Ten protesters were arrested during angry confrontations with police outside the Israeli Embassy in London, Scotland Yard said Sunday.
Campaigners were seen being handcuffed and dragged away by officers after events boiled out of control when thousands gathered in Kensington to protest against the bombing blitz on Gaza.
High Street Kensington was closed off with police vans blocking the street as the number of demonstrators swelled throughout the afternoon to about 2,000.
Among the protesters were Respect MP George Galloway and former MP Tony Benn, who both addressed the rally.
After his speech, Galloway said: "Israel has killed hundreds and maimed hundreds more - many of whom are women and young children - yet Gordon Brown is blaming the victim rather than the aggressor.
"The support at today's demonstration has been overwhelming.
"There are even Jewish rabbis who have joined us here.
"We should treat Israel as we treated South Africa during apartheid. They should be shunned".
Some demonstrators were seen attempting to climb the gate towards the Embassy and also throwing red liquid - to symbolise blood - towards the gate.
One campaigner was seen throwing a bag and what appeared to be a book towards the building.
Several protesters left the scene with bloodied faces.
Confrontations had begun when a small group of protesters stormed a barrier which was penning them in.
Protesters said further rallies would continue tomorrow.
The Metropolitan Police said the 10 protesters were arrested in connection with public order offences. (end) oas.tg KUNA 290039 Dec 08NNNN
