Around 75,000 people gather in London at Hyde Park Corner to express their disgust at the barbaric invasion of Gaza by the Israeli military as it attempts the eradication of the democratically elected Hamas.

Around 75,000 people gather in London at Hyde Park Corner to express their disgust at the barbaric invasion of Gaza by the Israeli military as it attempts the eradication of the democratically elected Hamas.

They march out of Hyde Park and through London arriving at the Israeli embassy an hour later.

They are met with a police presence which has clearly planned for a violent confrontation. Police in riot armour and Nato helmets are then deployed from within the embassy after shoes are thrown and the situation quickly degenerates into violent rioting a short while later.

A number of people are injured, some seriously.

As the protest continues, police deploy many hundreds of officers including officers on horseback.

Israeli Embassy, London, UK. 10/01/2009.
