At least 600 people staged a peaceful but angry anti-Israeli demonstration in Bern on Saturday to protest against ongoing violence in the Middle East, police said, reported (AFP) 

The protest, called by pro-Palestinian left-wing groups and including mainly Arab and Palestinian residents of Switzerland, included chants of "Israeli murderers" and "Free Palestine" as police placed a tight security cordon around the Israeli embassy. 

The protestors dispersed after two hours, and there were no reports of any trouble – (AFP)
