BERLIN (The Telegraph) –
German police broke up pro-Palestinian celebrations in Berlin on Saturday night.
Police made multiple arrests in the district of Neukoelln after officers tried to disperse people who were celebrating on the boulevard of Sonnenallee in the evening.
Officers reported chants of slogans such as “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”.
Sonnenallee is a hub for Berlin’s Palestinian community, one of the largest outside of the Middle East. Two police officers were injured in the clashes.
Earlier on Saturday, the Palestinian NGO Samidoun handed out Middle Eastern baklava sweets to celebrate the attack, posting on social media “long live the resistance of the Palestinian people”.
Samidoun, which is banned in Israel, is a front organization for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
