Greta Thunberg in focus: escalate protests against Israel in Berlin!

Greta Thunberg, known as the leading voice of the climate movement, caused a stir in Berlin this week when she took part in a pro-Palestinian protest. The demonstration train, organized under the motto "Student Protest for Palestine", led through the historic Berlin-Mitte and stopped at the Humboldt University and the Charité. Thunberg carried a Palestinian cloth and played an active role, while the demonstrators chanted violent slogans against Israel, who described it as the "terrorist". The police counted about 90 participants and initially reported no major incidents, such as bz-berlin.de reported.

At the same time, another pro-Palestinian demonstration occurred in Berlin-Wedding, in which an Iranian rocket attack was cheered on Israel. Calling up to the jubilation, a participant called into the microphone that "rockets were shot down on Israel". This led to an euphoric reaction of the crowd that was up to 400 people. Immediately after this incident, the police reported that several journalists from the demonstration were attacked. However, security forces were able to prevent heavier incidents, including the attempt to light a police vehicle. The Berlin police determined in several cases, including arson and incitement, such as rbb24.de reported.
