Gaza solidarity in Berlin

Tensions erupted in Germany's capital as pro-Palestine demonstrators clashed with police during a rally demanding that the government cut all ties with Israel and stop supplying arms. Protesters carried Palestinian flags, chanted "Free, Free Palestine!", and held banners reading “Stop the Genocide”, while counter-protesters waved Israeli flags nearby, intensifying the confrontation. 

In a powerful on-camera statement, Irish protester Simon condemned German officials for their continued support of Israel, directly naming Friedrich Merz and calling for his prosecution: “He should be in jail, along with most of the rest of the Bundestag.”
