Warm and intense environment - In Berlin, police disperse anti-Israel protestors obstructing a university campus.
As police ushered anti-Israel protesters away from the university compound, the demonstrators voiced loud objections. The mood was tense, and the gathering hadn't been properly recorded.
The stands-off had commenced on Wednesday afternoon. At first, authorities estimated approximately 50 individuals had encircled the Humboldt University's Institute of Social Sciences on Universitätsstraße.
Around 250-300 anti-Israel activists demonstrating on the street joined in the sit-in barricade. They waved umbrellas and Palestinian scarves. The climate was hot.
In the evening hours, HU President Julia von Blumenthal went to the Faculty of Social Sciences building with a team and a discussion proposal. According to the university's spokesperson, the occupiers accepted an invitation from the Presidential Board. The goal was for the Israel-agnostics to vacate voluntarily and avert eviction.
This shifted at about 7.40 pm when the police commenced dismantling the barricade.
Occupiers allege "genocide" and "mass murders"
In a declaration, the occupants of the group titled "Student Coalition Berlin" charged Israel of "genocide" and "ongoing mass killings." The focal point was for "unconditional solidarity with the Palestinian people." The Hamas terrorists holed up throughout the Gaza Strip? Not a matter of concern...
The Israel-agnostics appealed to the university to endorse their occupation and forbid a police intervention.
An occupation by the same group at the Free University of Berlin recently was cleared by the police.
