Free Palestine Melbourne, the organiser of a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Caulfield on Nov. 10, has apologised to the local Jewish community for what eventually turned into a violent clash next to a synagogue.

Caulfield, a suburb with a significant Jewish community, saw violence erupt between supporters of Israel and Palestine after a Palestinian-owned restaurant was destroyed by fire in the morning.
