The violence broke out as the largely Third World mob marched to the Israeli embassy, burned Israeli flags and hurled missiles including signs, crowd control barriers and fireworks at police officers.
Chanting “Allah Akbar” and other Islamist slogans, the Third World mob, all of whom have been welcomed into Britain by the immigration policies of both Tories and Labour, eventually surrounded the heavily outnumbered police on two sides.
The windows of a Starbucks were smashed and three police officers were injured in the ensuing battle.
Metropolitan Police Commander Bob Broadhurst said: “We are very disappointed by the irresponsible actions of those who have challenged police by ripping apart security barriers and throwing objects at them.
Approximately 15 people have been arrested, 12 for violent disorder; one for aggravated trespass; and two for assaulting a police officer. The London ambulance service said it had helped one man with a head injury and others with minor bruises after sending a team of 25 to the scene.
The march began in Hyde Park, where Speakers’ Corner was turned into a sea of Palestinian flags and banners condemning Israel, before making its way to Kensington Gardens. There were scuffles outside the Israeli embassy as the march passed by the gates leading to its entrance.
Missiles were thrown at police guarding the way and a number of loud bangs — believed to be firecrackers — were heard as riot police drew batons and attempted to push the crowd back from the gates.
A number of younger masked demonstrators attempted to climb onto the gates, near Kensington High Street, and they hurled pieces of placards and other items at police lines.
A Metropolitan police spokesman said: “A group of protesters outside the embassy of Israel started trying to push over the barriers placed there to protect the embassy. Protesters have also attempted to throw barriers and other missiles at police.”
