Protesters waved Paleostinian and Lebanese flags and signs reading, "Free Paleostine" and "End Israeli apartheid."
London police said a man was arrested at the protest after he was observed carrying a placard suspected of expressing support for a terror organization.
According to posts on social media, the sign read, "Resistance® is not terrorism."

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

Earlier on Saturday, a British anti-Israel group claimed to have stolen a bust of Chaim Weizmann, Israel’s first president, from the University of Manchester in northern England.
The group, Paleostine Action, said their activists went to "abduct" the sculpture of the late Israeli leader because he "secured" the Balfour Declaration, "which began the ethnic cleansing of Paleostine by signing the land away."
Greater Manchester Police said the burglary was reported shortly before midnight Friday night, according to British media reports. Police said they were investigating the incident.
The group said their activists stole the bust to mark the 107th anniversary of the declaration, in which the British Government issued a commitment to "establish in Paleostine a national home for the Jewish people," which was at the time governed by the Ottoman Empire.
The declaration is considered the first of many steps that led to the creation of Israel.
Weizmann, who worked as a biochemistry professor at the University of Manchester, was a leading statesman of the Zionist movement in the early 1900s. He spearheaded the international diplomatic efforts that led to international recognition of the budding Jewish state, and is considered one of Israel’s founding fathers.
