'Hummus not Hamas!': Thousands of Israeli and Palestinian protesters take to the streets across the world demanding an end to conflict as IDF masses on the border of the Gaza Strip

Protesters expressing solidarity with both Israel and Palestine have flooded the streets of world cities this weekend as the conflict between Israel and the terror group Hamas threatens to explode into all-out warfare.

Over Amsterdam in the Netherlands, where 10,000 people came out to express support for Palestinians, a plane flew overhead towing a banner that read: 'Love humus (sic), not Hamas!'

Other planes towed similar messages, reading: 'Make falafel, not war' and 'Shalom - Salaam' - Hebrew and Arabic words for 'peace'.

Across the world, supporters of Israel and Palestine came out in force following Hamas' terror attack in Israel last week and the country's shock and awe campaign of retribution.
