Jubilee after rocket attack: outrage about pro-Palestinian demo in Berlin!

On Tuesday evening, sensational scenes occurred in Berlin when a propalestinian demonstration in the Wedding district became joy over an Iranian rocket attack on Israel. One participant called "rockets shot down on Israel", whereupon many cheered cheered, struck drums and applauded. These events also met with incomprehension and criticism among many politicians in Germany.

A total of around 400 people gathered on Müllerstrasse for a rally under the motto "Hands away from Lebanon - Freedom for Palestine". Videos can be seen that the demonstrating Palestinian towels as well as Palestinian and Lebanese flags were swung. The police confirmed the cheers for the attack, but no crimes or violations of conditions were registered. Despite all of this, six investigations were initiated, including due to insult and sedition. Four people were temporarily arrested. An article at www.tagesspiegel.de .
