Everyone loves Palestine - Free Palestine

Taken on Kensington High Street at the end of one of London's largest protests in many years had assembled close to the Israeli Embassy in Kensington. Demonstrators were angry over Israel's illegal occupation, forced evictions of Palestinians from their homes, the Gaza blockade, the devastating air strikes including attacks on tower blocks and the international media and the country's continued defiance of international law.

 

One of the factors which led to the escalating violence was Israel's eviction of Palestinians from their homes in East Jerusalem, which many Palestinians hope will one day become the capital of a democratic country stretching "from the (Jordan) river to the sea." More of my photos of the protest to follow shortly.
