"I am not worthy to stoop down and untie the thong of his sandals." Mark 1:7. A modern day example of the way shoes/sandals/feet are thought of in the middle east.
The violence started when police tried to move protesters away from the gates of the Israeli embassy. One police officer was knocked unconscious and two more were injured. Many people were pleading with police to allow them out of the cordon as they were trapped between two lines of officers.
There were running skirmishes between the officers and groups of young men, each time prompting a further charge from the officers and sending the crowd running screaming in the opposite direction. Demonstrators also hurled shoes over the heads of riot police. In Edinburgh, three police officers suffered minor injuries.
