London - Protesters have gathered outside the Israeli embassy in west London to demonstrate against Israel's air raids on Gaza.
Several hundred protesters were initially kept behind metal barriers across from the embassy in the up-scale west London district of Kensington, but surged forward across the road towards the front gates.
Police on horseback moved in to to try to disperse the crowd, and confused scruffles broke out among security forces and protestors, brandishing placards reading "Free Palestine" and "Stop starving the Palestinians."
Later on, protestors were still blocking the road and shouting in a tense stand-off with police as night fell.

Same type off protest seem to be happening in Berlin, Paris and other European Cities, however nothing yet in Tokyo.

George Galloway at the forefront again here in the UK.
He is sincere but his reputation - rightly or wrongly deserved - will put some people off joining the cause.

Thanks for the videos and comments. It's important to highlight people's anger. Of course others would have attended but they had to go to work. However, some of us have contacted the consulate directly and are boycotting Israeli goods.
They are desperate for tourism and just look what they're doing.
