From the For the Protection of Zion Trust newsletter…
On Sunday afternoon in the heart of Hastings City a confrontation took place between pro-Israel supporters and those standing for the Palestinians. A clash occurred when the Palestinian rally failed to finish on time and kept the Israel supporters waiting a considerable length of time despite us having a Council license to meet. It would be fair to say that a real ding-dong took place at the Town Clock.
Our Israel supporters were patient, respectful and kept a non-hostile composure, but when the changeover of meetings finally began to take place the Palestinian supporters began to descend into verbal abuse and threats. Very quickly at least a dozen police officers were present to keep the two sides apart and eventually our rally was able to get under way as the other crowd dispersed.
