Protests Turn Violent In France, Greece - (Gaza\Israel)
<snip>

Associated Press - January 3, 2009 3:03 PM ET

LONDON (AP) - Tens of thousands of people in European cities have been protesting Israel's military offensive in Gaza.

Most of the protests have been peaceful, but in Athens, Greece, some protesters threw stones and petrol bombs at police outside the Israeli Embassy.

In Paris, police said 21,000 people marched through the streets, shouting slogans that included "We are all Palestinians." Later, a small group of protesters set fire to at least three cars and smashed shop and cafe windows.

Angry protests continued for a second day in Turkey, where about 5,000 demonstrators shouted "killer Israel" in downtown Ankara.

It's been a week since the start of the Israeli strikes on Gaza. At least 460 people have been killed and about 1,700 wounded.
