Berlin: Israel Haters to Stage Pro-Terror Protests on Anniversary of Hamas Massacre
While the victims of the Palestinian terror attack of October 7th, 2023, will be commemorated, Hamas supporters announced rallies at which they intend to repeat the genocide lie about Israel and call for even more terror against the only Jewish state.
On the third anniversary of the Hamas massacre in Israel, commemorations and protests will take place in Berlin to honor the victims. At 3:00 p.m., a "Never Forget October 7th, Never be Silent" rally will take place at Bebelplatz square, with Germany’s Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt, Berlin’s President of the House of Representatives Cornelia Seibeld, Israel’s Ambassador to Germany Ron Prosor, and Noga Friedman, widow of Ido Rosenthal, set to speak.
The event will be organized by the Central Council of Jews in Germany, the Deutsch-Israelische Gesellschaft (DIG), the World Jewish Congress, the Jewish Congregation Berlin, Chabad Berlin, and others. A second large commemoration event, organized by the Berlin office of the German-Israeli Association, will be held at 4:00 p.m. at Sderotplatz square. The District Mayor of Steglitz-Zehlendorf, Maren Schellenberg, will be among the speakers.
However, not everyone is celebrating the victims. In Berlin, Cologne, Duisburg, Frankfurt, and Hanover, antisemites will be staging protests advocating for more acts of terror against Israel, the only Jewish state. The German authorities are uncertain whether they will ban those events beforehand. Additionally, a protest in Berlin entitled "Down with Colonialism" is planned, with banners showing an excavator breaking through a border post, symbolizing how some Hamas murderers entered Israel three years ago.
While Israel is not a colonial state, the protest will target it. The Berlin Police Department is prepared, with 1,000 officers on duty to protect the city from violent terror supporters and address hate speech. The antisemitic rally in Berlin is not the only pro-terror protest registered with authorities for October 7th. The organization Honestly Concerned warns of several similar events, including one in Hanover organized by a group called "Intifada Hanover," which intends to spread the genocide lie against Israel and call for more terror.
