This is the best summary I could come up with:
Pro-Palestinian protesters have taken to central London, disrupting Christmas shoppers as they urged them to boycott “pro-Israel” brands.
The sports company, which sponsors the Israeli national football team, was included on a list of brands to boycott on leaflets being handed out.
Earlier this month, Zara pulled an ad following complaints that it contained pictures resembling images from the Israel-Hamas war.
Police said no arrests were made during the protest, which was organised by direct action group Sisters Uncut, which campaigns against gender-based violence.
The protest began in Soho Square, where demonstrators chanted “free Palestine”, waved Palestinian flags, played music and let off coloured smoke.
The marchers later brought traffic to a standstill as they walked down Oxford Street.
