Demonstrators in Germany demand end to arming “Netanyahu’s fascist regime”
BERLIN, Sept. 08 (YPA) – Hundreds of people participated in a protest in the German capital, Berlin, to denounce Israeli crimes in Palestine and demand that the government stop arming “Netanyahu’s fascist regime.”
Demonstrators gathered near the “Platz der Luftbrücke” metro station to express their solidarity with Palestine and to protest the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.
Carrying Palestinian flags, the demonstrators marched to “Oranian Square” in the Kreuzberg neighborhood, while the police arrested at least five people without mentioning the reason.
The demonstrators also raised banners with phrases such as “Genocide does not justify another genocide” and “Germany, stop arming the fascist regime of Netanyahu (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin).”
Among the chants chanted by the participants also were: “Stop the killing and war,” “Freedom for Palestine,” “Hands off Palestine,” “Zionism is a crime,” and “Stop genocide.”
A number of people tried to provoke the participants in the march, raising Israeli flags along the path amid strict measures taken by police forces in and around the area.
