Thousands of demonstrators gathered in the heart of the German capital, Berlin, on Saturday, in a massive public march to express their absolute solidarity with the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples. This popular movement came in protest against the escalating pace of attacks launched by the Israeli occupation army on the Gaza Strip and Lebanese cities, amidst increasing international demands for a ceasefire and the protection of civilians.
The march began from the historic 'Oranienplatz' in the 'Kreuzberg' district, where participants walked towards the famous 'Sonnenallee' in the 'Neukölln' district. German security authorities imposed a strict cordon and extensive precautionary measures along the demonstration route to ensure control over the large crowds that flocked from various districts of the capital.
Protesters raised their voices loudly to condemn the Israeli occupation policies in the occupied Palestinian territories, directing harsh criticism at the German government for its continued export of weapons to the occupying state. Demonstrators considered that German military support directly contributes to the continued suffering of children and women in the targeted areas, demanding that the German Chancellor and political leadership immediately review these positions.
The demonstration witnessed a dense display of Palestinian and Lebanese flags, along with banners written in several languages carrying strong messages such as 'Stop the Genocide' and 'Gaza Under Fire'. Participants also made sure to carry pictures of Palestinian prisoners held in occupation prisons, to highlight their cause and humanitarian suffering under the current circumstances.
Demonstrators chanted enthusiastic slogans demanding freedom for Palestine and an immediate end to the occupation, describing what is happening in the Gaza Strip as a crime of genocide that requires urgent international action. The event concluded peacefully at the intersection of 'Pannierstraße' and 'Sonnenallee', after the participants delivered a firm message rejecting international silence towards the crimes committed against civilians.
This is not a war, this is a genocide.. Israel bombs and Germany supports.
