We thought it was odd...

to see a bunch of people walking down the street carrying torches on our way to Bible study at a friend's apartment last night. We also noticed a helicopter circling above us and saw a reporter and her camera man walking by. But we had no idea we were walking right past the beginning of this:

As we walked back to the train station afterward, we noticed all the overturned trash cans and some cops with gas masks on. Our Norwegian friend Karen was with us and got the scoop from a cop blocking the street that it was a demonstration for the nearby Israeli Embassy (click here for more pictures). Thankfully we had managed to miss nearly the whole thing.
