About 1,000 people demonstrated for and against show in synagogue promoting sale of property in Israel About 1,000 people protested for and against a show promoting the sale of property in Israel on Sunday, with police making 14 arrests. Those opposed to the event, which was held in a north-west London synagogue, claimed it was also selling property in land illegally occupied by Israel and was part of an expansionist plan to drive out Palestinians. Organisers denied this was the case.
