WATCH: Fury as thousands of Israel and Palestine protesters clash in streets of London

Protesters from Israel and Palestine battled in London, as thousands of pro-Palestine activists descended on the Israeli embassy.

Cops arrested three people after desperately attempting to keep the peace during the raging protest.

People launched fireworks at the High Street Kensington Tube station in West London, some directly at the embassy.

Pro-Palestine supporters scaled bins and lampposts with flags and flares, banging drums and chanting “Palestine will be free from the river to the sea.”

Those who supported Palestine during the rally told MailOnline that there is “no way to change the Middle East peacefully.”

Meanwhile, mourners gathered outside Downing Street to conduct a memorial for Israelis slain or kidnapped by Hamas militants during the battle.

Protesters scaled a building and scrawled “free Palestine” on the side of its wall with spray paint.

Activist group the Socialist Worker turned up with several stalls, selling its newspapers and calling for people to sign a petition to end the “arming [of] Israel apartheid”.

A police officer said: “We just hope that the two groups don’t meet and pro-Israeli activists arrive here too – then it will be chaos.”

But some Israeli’s did come to the area, and as tensions heated up police were forced to step in.

The furious mood became difficult to contain especially when one Israeli group held up an Israeli flag against the window as their tube pulled out of the station.

Brit Patricia Ryan, who was at the rally with her Palestinian husband, told MailOnline: “We feel that there had to be a huge tectonic movement for any change to occur in the Middle East.

“75 years is a long time. Nothing, nothing was happening.

“It’s sad to say there’s no way to do it peacefully. Every avenue has been tried and failed.

“Boiling point for Palestinians has been there for a long time. Now of course very quickly the Israelis are feeling that pressure, that terrible sense of danger that the Palestinians deal with day in day out.”

Another pro-Palestine supporter said that “Israel has done terrible things before” and the “whole world has been silent for so long”.

He added: “I’m not justifying any action that ends human life. Everyone wants peace and harmony. But one side has land, power and everything and one side has nothing.

“They have a right to have land, freedom and a livelihood. We don’t encourage violence. We want peace and co-existence.

“Israel has the support of largest economy in world most powerful economy – western society. They have no voice.”

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak also visited a London synagogue to show his support for Israel and condemned Hamas in a strong statement this evening.

The British prime minister said the “barbaric acts” committed by Hamas were “evil”.

“There is no other word to describe what we have have seen,” he said.

“Teenagers at a festival of peace gunned down in cold blood. Innocent men, women and children abducted, raped, slaughtered.

“Even a Holocaust survivor taken away as a captive. And much of the sickening evidence posted online.

“There are not two sides to these events. There is no question of balance. I stand with Israel.

“We stand with Israel, the United Kingdom stands with Israel against this terrorism today, tomorrow and always.”
