Police were forced to separate the groups after they clashed.
It turned violent when the pro-Palestinian demostratorrs stormed a police line, forcing officers to use pepper spray on one man.
He wasn't arrested but he was removed from the scene.
One man suffered minor injuries when a rock was thrown at him.
9news understands the rally was in response to a prominent pro-Palestinian activist who owns a local burger shop in the area, which was allegedly the target of arsonists yesterday.
Police don't believe the arson was politically motivated but the owner believes the fire bombing was a hate crime.
