Mass pro-Palestine demonstrations took place across the world over the last few days, with several culminating in clashes with police, property damage, and vandalism.
In Bern, Switzerland, 2000 people rallied in the city center and marched towards the synagogue on Monbijoustrasse, forcing police officers to block access to the building.
The protest, which was orchestrated by Basel4Palestine, was not given prior permission by the police. After multiple demonstrators broke through police cordons, threw stones, and set off fireworks, officers used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse crowds, according to Basel 4 Palestine.
The statement added that the situation was "all the more disturbing" because many Holocaust survivors were present.
Nevertheless, the community said it would not be "bullied" and would continue its mission.
According to the Metropolitan Police, several pro-Palestine protest groups also gathered outside the Israeli Embassy in Kensington.
