Berlin - Saba:
Protesters in the German capital, Berlin, faced police excessive violence as they protested against Israel's genocidal war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
According to the Turkish Anadolu Agency, hundreds of protesters gathered in Berlin's Neptune Square on Saturday in solidarity with Palestine and against Israel's ongoing genocidal war in Gaza since October 2023.
The protesters waved Palestinian flags and held signs reading "This is not a war, it's a genocide," "Boycott Israel," "Stop arming Israel," "The children of Gaza want to live," and "Israel is a terrorist child killer."
The protest coincided with heightened security measures taken by police, who arrested a number of protesters before later using force against them.
The excessive police violence resulted in the injury of a protester, who was taken to the hospital after receiving first aid at the scene.
It's worth noting that Germany is among Israel's most prominent political and military supporters in its genocidal war against the Gaza Strip. With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, leaving approximately 196,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing. Hundreds of thousands have been displaced, and famine has claimed the lives of many, including dozens of children.
