Increased tension during a protest in Berlin - Anti-Semitic individuals hurl projectiles at law enforcement personnel.
Initially, Israel gets targeted on the stage and a large group of participants yell collectively, "Long live, Long live Intifada." Even young children voice out through the microphone, "Free, free Palestine." Discernible are slogans like "Berlin must burn" (Berlin soll brennen) and "Make love to Germany" (Fick dich, Deutschland).
To begin with, the police are simply observing the event from a distance.
Not far away from the bridge over the Landwehr Canal, the disturbances commence. Police officers are under heavy stones and eggs barrage; circled; cornered and jeered: "The entire Berlin hates the police." At least two were overpowered and taken away.
The police arrested multiple individuals, including an elder woman. At this moment, there's a renewed shower of fireworks and more arrests. An aid truck of the Berlin Fire Department also received firework assault.
The rally on Wednesday night exceeded expectations, a police spokeswoman confirmed on Wednesday night. Previously, a spokesperson asserted approximately one thousand protesters registered for the demo.
Among the participants was Serhat Sisik, also known as "Aggression Problems." They're part of a group of buddies who've showed up at protests at Alexanderplatz and Hermannplatz lately.
Sisik mostly makes use of their monumental reach on social media (172,000 followers on Instagram) to draw attention to the rebellious protests. They also regularly provoke against journalists. Furthermore, Sisik denies that Hamas raped women on the 7th of October.
There were attacks on the police on Tuesday evening as well. Police officers were assaulted with stones and bottles. Additionally, fireworks were detonated, told a police spokeswoman. About 850 people had converged according to the police. The demo at the Hermannplatz was disbanded by the police around midnight.
In total, 19 criminal proceedings were initiated, which involved physical aggression and interfering with police authorities.
The rally has no end in sight! There are seven more scheduled till the end of the week.
