⁨  More than 15,000 march for Rafah!

” ⁨deutsch below
As of today, we are nearing eight months of genocide in Gaza perpetrated by Israel and backed by the German government. The Israeli military has devastated Gaza to such an extent that counting the dead and martyred is now impossible. Palestinians in Gaza are exposed to unspakable crimes. Despite the ICJ order to halt its Rafah offensive, Israel continues its relentless bombing. Just this Sunday night, another 45 Palestinians seeking shelter in Rafah were slaughtered and burned alive. Yet, the German government remains unwavering in its inhumane support for (and arming of) Israel, while cracking down on protests that dare to oppose the genocide.

Hermannplatz to Sonnenallee to Karl-Marx-Str is on fire for Rafah

Intense reports of racist police brutality include: Police violently targeting Palestinian youth, police pushing people into doorways and beating them up, police arresting and beating up someone who was just sitting to the point that their face is covered in blood, three police beating up someone lying on the ground who is not resisting. Police officers with numbers BE32210 and BE32214 are responsible for this brutal attack on Palestinian youth.

At the end of the Stop the Massacre in Rafah demo at Alexanderplatz around 10pm,  spontaneous demonstrations took place on the underground train and stations between Alexanderplatz and Sonnenallee. Flash mobs protesting the slaughter in Rafah gathered on Sonnenallee and there was an extremely high number of police present in the neighborhood.

Demo at Alexanderplatz

A spontaneous demonstration called at 23:30 as news of the massacre in Rafah hits Berlin.  The police threatened to ban the demo, did not allow chants and forbid the showing of printed images of what is happening in Gaza.

Schmob: a pro-palestinian flash mob that surreptiously erupts and breaks into riotous chaos

A few hundred protestors hide, well dispersed across a plaza in Neukölln. Everything looks normal, Berliners drinking beer in the park, people walking their dogs. Someone suddenly shouts “From the River to the Sea” and from dozens of locations, people emerge towards each other, putting kuffieyeh’s over their heads and responding “Palestine will be free.” In a matter of seconds, we are hundreds blocking the busy street. Pretty soon there will be fireworks, dumpsters lit, and barricades built all across the neighborhood. We do this night after night, becoming more dangerous every time.

Neukölln is home to one of the largest Palestinian populations outside of the Middle East. It is full of arabs and gentrifying hipsters. There are Continue reading 22.05 Flashmob Riots as a Tactic for Free Palestine on the Streets of Neukölln →
