Anti-Israel Rally turns violent in London....
You never see violence at a Pro-Israel rally....
Protestors clashed with hundreds of riot police in central London as an anti-war demonstration turned violent.
One officer was knocked unconscious and two others received facial injuries as the mood turned sour at what had been a mainly peaceful protest.
A small group of protestors turned on mounted police and riot officers on foot, throwing missiles and smashing windows in Kensington, close to the Israeli Embassy.
A crash barrier set up to help control the crowds was hurled through the large windows of a Starbucks Coffee shop.
Police were forced to charge at the group, mainly made up of young men, in an attempt to disperse them.
But sticks, stones and shoes were thrown back before the crowds were brought under control

I live in Vancouver but listen to BBC London most everyday. So I'm very much in tune with the "zeitgeist" of London and the UK in general.
If the callers are representative of the larger public then it must be a very scary time to publicly oppose Radical Islam over there.
Hi,
I attended the rally today in London, UK. As an english born Israeli (Israeli parents) it was touching and very uplifting. Although we could kinda hear the shouts of the 'others' we simply drowned out their chants with ours.
It was a great day to be pro-israel in london!
