A user on social media described the scene as 'emotionally charged'
A demonstrator wearing a Kippur draped a flag around his shoulders, inscribed with the words "never again for anyone".
Some users praised the demonstrations, writing "respect to them", and another said: "Absolute solidarity with those taking part to call for PEACE."
Whilst others criticised the protestors, stating: "Why not go to a place of worship for prayer, so people trying to get to work or visit sick loved ones, etc can go about their business in peace.
"No common sense. Blocking everyone else go about their business is selfish and disrespectful. Those wishing to express their feelings can do so, but not at the detriment to everyone else," the user continued.
