Similar protests have occurred almost daily in the Middle East and elsewhere since Israel launched its operation more than two weeks ago to stop rocket fire from the militant Palestinian group Hamas.
The demonstrations have been fueled by the rising death toll in Gaza, which currently stands at over 800 Palestinians. Thirteen Israelis have also died in the fighting.
Saturday's protests were largely peaceful, but three policemen were injured in London when some demonstrators began hurling missiles near the Israeli Embassy.
More than 60 people were injured during a large demonstration Friday in Algeria's capital, many by stone throwing, the Interior Ministry said.
In Norway, police used tear gas to try to disperse at least 1,000 protesters after some hurled bottles, rocks and fired fireworks at officers. Two people were injured and two were taken into custody, said Oslo police spokeswoman Unni Groendal.
Protesters in Sweden tried to break through sealed-off areas at Israel's embassy in Stockholm after a march through the city by 3,000 to 5,000 people. Some burned Israeli flags.
In Greece, more than 2,000 mostly Arab demonstrators, joined by several Greek leftist groups, marched to the Israeli embassy in protest.
In Innsbruck, Austria, volunteer security personnel arranged by the Islamic organizers of a demonstration moved quickly to surround and protect an elderly man after he suddenly unrolled an Israeli flag in the middle of the protest.
Thousands of demonstrators in the Scottish capital of Edinburgh gathered in front of the American consulate to toss shoes at the 19th century town house.
Sky News television footage showed police recoiling as a storm of shoes flew over their heads.
"They were just flying, like hail through the sky," protest organizer Ian Hood said in a telephone interview. He said protesters were angry at the U.S. for failing to stop the bloodshed in Gaza.
Ottawa was also criticized for failing to oppose the United Nations' call for an end to hostilities. A group of prominent Canadians, many of them Jewish, is calling on the government to demand an immediate cease-fire in Gaza.
The group said Israel's actions amount to war crimes, and that Canada
is complicit.
In London, police estimated 12,000 demonstrators rallied in Hyde Park in support of the Palestinian cause, carrying placards marked "Gaza: Stop the massacre" and chanting "Free, free Palestine." BBC News put the total at as many as 50,000.
Sky News reports that a policeman was knocked unconscious and two others injured as some protesters turned violent.
Protesters threw objects at police and smashed windows on Kensington High Street near the Israeli Embassy.
As riot officers charged at the group of mostly young men, sticks and barriers were hurled at the officers by the group, many of whom were masked.
Police cordoned off the area and siphoned off demonstrators, one by one, to have their picture and identification taken.
In France, thousands of protesters marched through Paris and other cities in favor of Gaza Palestinians, a week after 21,000 marched in the French capital for the same cause.
Demonstrators in Paris were crying out "We are all the children of Gaza" and brandishing Palestinian flags to protest Israel's deadly offensive.

There was no official estimate of the number present for the march from central to eastern Paris, but thousands were present.
Far-left politician Olivier Besancenot was among the marchers, as was the French Jewish Union for Peace.
Last week's march degenerated into violence in a main shopping district with cars burned and windows broken. Police changed the route this time around.
Demonstration Dubbed "Anti-Fascist"
Saturday's rally in the southern Lebanese town of Nabatiyeh was organized by the militant Hezbollah group, a strong ally of Hamas that fought its own war with Israel in the summer of 2006.
The thousands of demonstrators who marched through the streets waved Lebanese and Palestinian flags and some carried posters of bloody Palestinian children.
Meanwhile in Sarajevo, Bosnia, hundreds to the streets to call for an end to the Israeli military offensive in the Gaza strip.
"This demo is not anti-semitic, it is anti-fascist, because they are fascists what they are doing to people in Gaza," said Suada Abdoum. "We want peace for everyone, life and dignity for everyone including the poor Palestinians."
Sarajevo resident Emir Begic said, "I can't sleep since the bombing in Gaza started. I just keep my eyes closed, thinking about those people and their poor souls."
Hamas Leader: No Deal With Israel
Meanwhile, the rage within the Gaza Strip continued. A top Hamas leader said this evening that the Gaza war has killed the last chance for settlement and negotiations with Israel.
Damascus-based Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal gave a fiery speech on the Arabic news channel Al-Jazeera condemning Israel's attack on the Gaza Strip, describing it as a "holocaust."
Mashaal also called for an end to Israeli attacks, the removal of its forces from Gaza, and a lifting of the Gaza blockade.
In Gaza this morning, Israel dropped leaflets warning of an escalation in attacks. The notice said Israel is about to begin a "new phase in the war on terror".
It said it will "escalate" an operation that already has killed more than 800 Palestinians.

And Hamas has denied access to UN observers as well, seems they have something to hide as well, by your reasoning.
Is there no abuse control?
Why are people allowed to advocate killing others?

It was on the Home page, I shouldn''t have to provide a link. If you read stories before commenting from a reactionary standpoint, the reference to the link shouldn''t have had to be made (especially from the same site.) Read first (educate) then respond.
For so many years the Zionists have controlled USA which is the ONLY country in the wolrd siding blindly with the Israelis.
For so long, the USA has abused the Veto power at UN to protect and being biased in favor of the Zionists
Wake up Americans, The roots of terrorisme is there. Do not waste our tax dollars to fuel terrosrisme by allocating more than 85% our foreign aid to the Zionist country of 5 millions ( 0.10 % of the world population)

For so many years, the Zionists have controlled the America government and politics. In fact, the US is the ONLY country in the wolrd who has blindly sided with Israel, It is the ONLLY country which consistently has abused its vetor power at the UN to support and colonization and the state terrorisme of Israel.
Wake up Americans, The roots of terrorisme is right before our eyes. Stop wasting our tax dollars by allocating more than 85% of foreing aid to an outcast country of 5 millions (0.10% of the world population )

You convenientlly forget to ask why there had to be an operation Grapes of Wrath to begin with. Try reading the article and do a little research. Again, Israel, was being bombed, rocketed and assaulted, to a point where they had to launch the operation. Those kids would have never died had Hezbollah not been fired the Katyushas. Both Hamas and Hezbollah have a nasty little habit of violating rules of warefare by launching rockets from schools, UN compounds, mosques, and other civilian/religious installations that expressly forbidden by the Geneva convention. Its kind of hard to have peace when both these terrorist organizations not only won''t acknowledge Israel''s existence, but actively promote its destruction as part of their ideology. To me that''s the core of the problem.....words?

I find it unconvincing that Arabs didn''t live in what we now call Israel until the Jews showed up around 1880.
Clearly, the solution here is to allow gambling only on Palestinian lands.

It appears that the crimes and atrocities of the Israelis and the Zionists have been laid bare.
They do not seem to be welcome anywhere in the world.

There are protests around the globe condemning Israeli atrocities and crimes, particularly their targeting and killing of civilians.
YES, 1,200 OUT OF 6,000,000, THOUGHT IT''S BETTER TO JOIN THEN GET MURDERED
STUPID IGNORANT RACISTS

''freedom fighter/terrorist'' (take your pick) Yassir Arafat died one of the richest men on the planet (worth over 4 billion dollars).
Do the math. Too many people make too much money by keeping this conflict going. The only real solution is for the rest of us to stop caring, and especially, stop sending either side money out of our ''concern''. But I actually think that applies more to the Arab side than the Israeli.
Who''s the prime minister of Israel? (see, I already don''t care) That guy is an Arab terrorists BEST FRIEND. Money will be flowing in for decades to come, and some fraction of it will buy fresh blood. Way to go, moron. Must have taken a page from GW Bush''s ''Blueprint for Success''. LOL.
And now Hamas wants to parade their dead children in front of us. Each child is a cash register to Hamas, literally worth more dead than alive.
A pox on both their houses (and on Christian idiots like Truthin2009 who encourage Americans to take sides). I once knew a guy who thought someone should nuke the whole area in and around Israel... and HE was Jewish! (and of course kidding)

Collective punishment campaigns, targeting and killign of civilians, and the illegal invasion of GAZA.
These are among some of the most recent Israeli crimes and atrocities.
1. Jewish always lived in Israel that once was their kingdom
2. Jewish where expelled from Israel but some Jewish people where always there
3. Jewish temples where destroyed and mosques where build on top of it
4. Jewish did not steal Israel from the Palestinian
5. Jewish are back to Israel and rebuild it (like no other middle east country ever did)
6. Jewish are as greedy, nice, good, bad as any other group
7. Due to be hunted, Jewish EDUCATION was a surviving tool
8. Due to EDUCATION Jewish known to be smarter (higher positions) and richer (not greedier...)
9. When economy is bad people tend to blame the powerful and rich groups
10. Racist and anti-semi used depressions to grow hate about Jewish people

So you are praying for Hamas who have been democratically elected by majority for Palestinians who have hope in Hamas leadership on getting Palestinian land free from the tyrany of European occupiers who were brought into Palestine after WWII to occupy the land of those Palestinians by force who can''t even speak the language sponken by Hitler.
Zohar (I, 46b, 47a)
"Mary, mother of Jesus was a harrlot and slept with many men."
Truthin2009,
Is this the reason your god has chosen those people? If Americans also start calling your god''s mother a prostitute, are they also going to be chosen by your god?
I am asking this question in a hope that GOD-NEGLECTED AMERICANS may get freedom from the slavery of those people who have been chosen by your god for accusing your god''s mother of fornication.
The Israelis either intentionally target civilians, a serious war crime, or they are far to incompetent to be trusted with advanced weapons, especially with their illegal nuclear arsenal.

What about enemies of the United States like yourself?
If a NON-AMERICAN LAND is a holy land in the eyes of your god, why don''t you take your god with you and leave United States?

We didn''t need to know about your condition but thanks any way. Is that the reason you can''t come up with valid reasons to either answer my question or prove me wrong?
Good luck with your lithium therapy!
The meaning of this is that his Mary was called Stada, that is, a prostitutte, because, according to what was taught at Pumbadita, she left her husband and commited adultery. This is also recorded in the Jerusalem Talmud(7) and by Maimonides.(7)
(7) cf. Sanhedrin, chap. VII near the end, and Iebhammoth, the last chap.

PEACE!
DO NOT SPEAK THAT OF WHICH YOU HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE. YOU SIT WHERE YOU SIT AND MOCK THE QURAN. INDEED MANY DID MOCK AT IT BEFORE YOU. THE IDOLATORS OF MAKKAH DID MOCK THE PROPHET AND THAT WITH WHICH HE WAS SENT...SO MANY DIED IN THAT STATE, DISBELIEVING. A FOLK THAT LAY IN THE SAND, SCATTERED LIKE THE SAND. SO ALLAH PURIFIED THE HOLY PLACE, AND APPOINTED IT A QIBLAH FOR THOSE THAT WORSHIP. SO BELIEVE YE OR CHOOSE DENIAL OF THE TRUTH, IN ALWAYS REMAINS THAT INDEED THE QURAN IS THE VERY WORD OF GOD. PEACE MY BROTHER!
Hiding behind Human Shields and slaughtering unarmed civilians, mostly women and children. This is the face of Zionist depravity and terrorism.
PEACE!
YOU SPEAK WITH MUCH ANGER AND FRUSTRATION. IT SEEMS YOU WORRY TOO MUCH, AND PERHAPS IGNORE THE CHANCES OF REALITY. ADDRESS OTHERS WITH LOVE AND RESPECT, MAYBE THEY WILL TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY. MAY YOU HAVE PEACE IN YOUR HEART AND SPREAD IT IN YOUR WORLD. GOD LOVES A PEACEFUL BEING. PEACE!
