Berlin - Saba:
German police stopped a demonstration in support of Palestine in the capital, Berlin, on the pretext of playing music, chanting slogans, and giving speeches in Arabic.
Media reports today, Sunday, indicated that hundreds of people gathered in a square near the Wittenbergplatz metro station in Berlin to participate in a demonstration organized under the slogan "Stop the aggression in the West Bank - Do not supply (Israel) with weapons."
The demonstrators carried Palestinian flags and banners reading "Hands off the West Bank," "Stop arming Israel," "Gaza is not for sale," "Freedom for Palestine," and "Palestinian children deserve to grow up."
The demonstrators played Arabic music and chanted slogans against "Israel" and the United States, which the German police rejected and decided to end the demonstration on the grounds that this behavior was prohibited in advance.
More than 50 demonstrators refused to leave the square and continued to sit there to express their protest against the decision, but the police intervened violently and arrested many of them.
Before the demonstration, the police had imposed a condition requiring that the slogans be chanted in German and English only, and did not allow a march to take place.
Germany expresses its support for "Israel" explicitly through its officials, and has agreed several times to sell weapons and military equipment to "Tel Aviv" despite the genocide it is committing against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
Since October 7, 2023, the Zionist enemy army and settlers have expanded their attacks in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, resulting in the martyrdom of 906 Palestinians, the injury of about seven thousand, and the arrest of 14,300 others, according to official Palestinian data.
With American support, the Zionist enemy committed genocide in Gaza between October 7, 2023 and January 19, 2025, leaving more than 159,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 14,000 missing.
