Pro-Palestine activists gathered at The Mound in Edinburgh to protest Israel's actions in Gaza, as part of nationwide demonstrations. A small counter-protest of around six people carrying Israel flags also took place at the site.
WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE. Do YOU know the woman in the video? EmailThis is the shocking moment a pro-Palestinian protester appears to goad Jewish people about the Holocaust, telling them: 'Don't forget where the Jews were in 1940.'
She adds: 'Don't forget where you were in 1940, ha. Don't forget where the Jews were in 1940 and 194. All in your camps.'#Nazi on the streets of #Glasgow.

Spouting nonsense like this doesn't help anyone or any cause.'
Chanting slogans such as 'Free, free Palestine!' and 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free', demonstrators marched up The Mound and along Edinburgh's famous Royal Mile as onlookers including tourists watched. The protest continued outside the BBC building amid criticism of the corporation for refusing to call militant group Hamas 'terrorists'
