Salute to Israel 60 years march and rally. London, UK. 29/06/2008.
Supporters of Israel gather in London to take part in a large march and rally to 'salute' Israel 60 years after its creation in 1948. The march is attended by thousands of supporters who walk through the streets of London waiving the flag of Israel and the British 'Union' flag to compound the continuing relationship between the two nations in the current wars in the Middle-East. The event is highly controversial and is largely policed by 'private' security personnel. The march ends in Trafalgar Square where the crowd listen to guests, some of whom (Nick Ferrari, LBC) make disturbing references to the degree to which modern Pro-Israeli interests are able to exercise influence in government foreign policy. London. 29th June 2008. NB. Report updated to replace 'Jewish' with 'Pro-Israeli' in captions due to complaints at 30/06/2008|10:52:00BST.
