Germany: Dozens Injured at Berlin Pro-Palestinian Protest
- On May 15, 2025, a large crowd of pro-Palestine demonstrators assembled in Berlin's Neukölln neighborhood to observe Nakba Day and voice opposition to Israeli military operations in Gaza.
- The protest recognized the 1948 displacement of approximately 700,000 Palestinians during Israel's establishment, but the planned march was halted by riot police employing water cannons, resulting in a stationary gathering instead.
- During the event, dozens sustained injuries, over 50 protesters were arrested, and police faced several injuries amid allegations of suppressing Palestinian solidarity as part of ongoing German state repression.
- The organizers criticized the bans, police violence, and legal measures targeting Palestinian activists, warning that Germany will face consequences for aligning itself against justice and historical progress.
- The demonstration highlighted Germany's criminalization of Palestinian solidarity, continuing support for Israel through arms exports, and the unresolved tensions surrounding Nakba remembrance and Gaza conflict.
