Palestinian supporters march on US embassy in NSW

About 2,000 Palestinian supporters marched on the United States Consulate in Sydney today, to protest against the latest violence in the disputed territories.

In a heated but non-violent demonstration, protesters burned Israeli flags and football jerseys.

At one stage, some of the demonstrators tried to break through a police barricade outside the consulate but they were pushed back. http://www.abc.net.au/news/state/nsw/metnsw-15oct2000-3.htm
