Pro-Palestinian protesters trash UK supermarket
Demonstrators in the UK calling for a Birmingham Tesco supermarket to stop selling Israeli goods threw produce on the floor and shouted at patrons and staff on Saturday.
One person was arrested for assaulting police officers.
“I was just in the Tesco in Hodge Hill, scanning my items and I heard chanting,” says one customer, according to the Telegraph. “Then a group of Asian men holding Palestinian flags came walking in and starting to push products over and getting aggressive with staff and shoppers.
“Police officers tried to stop them but I ran out.”
