Berlin, Germany - August 28, 2024

"A group of pro-Palestine protesters staged an unregistered flash mob inside Berlin's Main Train Station on August 28, 2024, calling out what they described as a "genocide" by Israel in Gaza. The demonstrators chanted slogans such as "Intifada revolution," "Intifada till victory," and "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" while raising Palestinian flags. The protest appeared to target both Israel and Germany, with some participants expressing anger towards Germany's support of Israel. Shouts of "Fuck you, Germany" were reportedly heard among the crowd.Berlin police temporarily detained the protesters to verify their identities. The flash mob, which took place during peak travel hours, drew significant attention from commuters and onlookers in the bustling station. Local authorities are investigating the incident, as the protest was not officially registered, and organizers could face penalties under German law. The event reflects ongoing tensions and the deepening divide over the Israel-Palestine war, with Berlin often being a focal point for demonstrations on both sides. The counter-protest occurred just outside the station's main entrance, where the pro-Palestine protesters were led away by police for identity verification. Participants in the counter-protest waved Israeli flags in a show of support for Israel.
