I was in the thick of it obstructing the car with the Isreali flag, just want a few more reports and opinions, although some I imagine will be unwelcome.

What I saw

A car pulled up next to the demo outside the art gallery, the young lads inside started shouting abuse at people listening to the speeches regarding the killing of civilians in Gaza, they waved n Isralei flag out of the window and were laughing. A few of those closest to the car ran over, one person grabbed the flag and pulled it out of the car, one or two people also kicked at the car before it pulled away and drove off, the Police rather than arresting the drivers for incitement and public order offenses ran into the small group of demonstrators who were near the incident dragging and pushing them away, in the ensuing shoving two people were arrested and dragged off in to a 'Bridewell Taxi', that's all I saw.

I call for more solidarity (ironic huh?) from other people on the march and the organisers (LCAW) to not blame individual protesters for 'disreputable behaviour' but to denounce the police for false and initimidatory arrests and to complain about the policing of the incident.
