Berlin’s police have once again banned anti-Israel demonstrations. The authority banned five Palestinian Nakba Day gatherings scheduled for Friday through Sunday, with several hundred participants. The police announced on Thursday. There is an imminent danger of hate speech, antisemitism, intimidation and violence. On Nakba Memorial Day on May 15, Palestinians commemorate the flight and expulsion of people from Palestine in the course of the founding of the State of Israel in 1948 and the subsequent war of aggression by several Arab states.
A demonstration on Sunday in Mitte is attributed to the Samidoun group from the network of the Palestinian terrorist organization PFLP, another demonstration in Kreuzberg and Neukölln in the vicinity of other Palestinian demonstrations in April, at which openly anti-Semitic slogans were spoken and police officers and journalists were attacked. The lawyer Ahmed Abed, who is a district councilor for the Left Party in Neukölln, announced legal action against the ban on the Kreuzberg demonstration when asked by the Tagesspiegel for the network “Palestine Speaks”.
