About 1,000 people demonstrated June 3 evening outside Turkey's embassy
in Tel Aviv, expressing their anger over Ankara's conduct in the wake
of the raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla, YNet reported.
Some protestors hurled stones and a smoke grenade at the embassy.
Three people were arrested by police at the scene, as mounted officers
and riot police attempted to keep the demonstrators at bay.
Many of those present outside the Yarkon Street consulate held up
Israeli flags and signs condemning the Turkish government. "Erdogan
is a terrorist," some chanted, referring to Turkey's leader, while
others chanted "Let the IDF win" and "Zoabi, go to Gaza," referring
to the Arab-Israeli Knesset member who was aboard the raided ship.
At one point in the rally, a female protestor attempted to raise the
Israeli flag on the embassy's fence but was pushed back by police
officers.
Some protestors carried signs charging that Turkish Prime Minister
Erdogan is a fascist. Other participants held up Armenian flags,
expressing their sympathy over the Armenian Genocide perpetrated by
the Turks early in the 20th century.
