Iranian Dissidents Rushed to Defend London's Israeli Embassy from Anti-Zionist Mob
(Jewish Chronicle-UK) Jamie Shapiro - Iranian dissidents rushed to Kensington on Friday night to protect the Israeli embassy from an anti-Zionist mob. The Palestinian Youth Movement had called on their members and followers to descend on the embassy to protest against the "Zionist entity," but when they arrived, they found a 200-strong crowd of pro-Israel supporters and anti-regime Iranians defending the entrance of the road that leads to the embassy. That counter-protest, arranged by Jewish campaign group Stop The Hate, dwarfed the Palestinian Youth Movement's demonstration and forced them away from the vicinity. Since the Iranian uprising began, Jews and Israelis in London have been marching in solidarity every week.
