Today's demonstration to the Israeli Embassy in central London was massive. Estimates talk about 100,000 people taking part. A call for an anarchist / anti-authoritarian presence at the demo was made earlier in the week, which has materialised today with a clearly visible block. Here there are some pics of it.

General view of the block

The demo was loud and angry right from the start, but as it approached the Israeli Embassy it got louder and angrier. It ended with a stand off outside the embassy's gates, which ended up with the police attacking the crowd causing a massive crush where several people got injured. They then moved in to kettle part of the crowd. Keep an eye on the newswire for further reports.
