An Israeli flag was ripped apart at pro-Palestinian march in central London on Saturday.
Only a heavy rain shower had prevented the flag from being set alight after a man climbed onto a traffic light close to the Israeli embassy in Kensington, west London.
Elsewhere, young men could be heard chanting “Khayber Khayber Ya Yehud jaish Mohammad Sauf Ya’ud” (“Khayber Khaybar oh Jews, Mohammad’s army is returning”).
The Palestine Solidarity Campaign claimed over 100,000 joined the demo to protest against what they called the “brutal” violence against the Palestinian people.
Jewish News spoke to some of those who decided to attend the protest, which saw banners calling for the destruction of Israel help aloft by thousands.

PCS merger?
The Public and Commercial Services union is claiming that its forthcoming conference in June will be the most democratic across the trade union movement.
Branches can register as many delegates as they like, but only one will be allowed to vote and they will use their card vote on every motion (the number of votes each branch will have will be the number of members of that branch). I have no quibble with branches having more delegates than they would normally be allowed to have - this means, in principle, far more members might attend and observe this online conference. I never forgot my first conference (in 1981, I think), so enthralled was I by the cut and thrust of the debates, and the politics - I never missed a subsequent conference for the next 35 years until I retired.
