This is the eighth week in a row that we’ve seen large protests against Israel’s war on Gaza in London and other cities in the UK.

The main chant here is ‘ceasefire now’ and there is a very high level of anger among the crowd at the UK government position of abstaining from voting at the UN Security Council on an immediate ceasefire.

Generally the protest has been peaceful, though one lady was just arrested. Police sources tell us tens of thousands of people are on the streets of London today.
