On the first anniversary of the Hamas massacre in Israel, hundreds of people demonstrate in Kreuzberg and demand “solidarity with Palestine.” Greta Thunberg is also there.
Bottles were thrown at police officers and anti-Israel slogans were thrown at a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Berlin-Kreuzberg. The Berlin police announced this on the X platform. There have already been several arrests. According to the police, around 400 people took part in the rally entitled “Solidarity with Palestine” on the first anniversary of the attack on Israel by the Islamist terrorist organization Hamas. Swedish activist Greta Thunberg was also at the demonstration.
Demonstrators chanted: “Viva, viva Palestine.” Many wore so-called Palestinian scarves and waved the corresponding flags. A man with a megaphone cheered on the demonstrators: “Yalla yalla Intifada,” “Stop the mass murder” and “Israel is terror state.”
The slogan “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” was also heard several times. It refers to the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. The Islamist Hamas understands that the state of Israel should disappear. According to the Federal Ministry of the Interior, the slogan is banned in Germany if it is used as a symbol of Hamas.
In some cases, journalists were hindered and threatened in their work. There was no mention of Hamas or Israeli victims of the attack a year ago. On Sunday, the police ended a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Kreuzberg early after throwing stones and bottles.
Greta Thunberg became known worldwide for her “school strike for the climate”. The international climate movement Fridays for Future emerged from their protest. Since the Islamist Hamas attack on Israel a year ago and Israel’s subsequent military action in the Gaza Strip, it has repeatedly expressed solidarity with the Palestinians and accused Israel of genocide. Critics accuse Thunberg of taking one-sided pro-Palestinian positions in the Gaza war and the events that triggered it.
