Multiple injuries were reported at a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Berlin commemorating the Nakba and criticizing Israel on Thursday. Police and politicians have condemned the violence.
“The police could learn to keep their distance…” that is not how it works in Germany.
The police has the force monopoly. You do what the police says or you get in trouble. They are fair (most of the time, I experienced 2 or 3 exceptions myself throughout my life). Most of the time you will get another chance.
I was also on protests and demos myself. They are not doing anything to the crowd except something is going wrong, like:
Demonstrants not taking the pathway they should be taking like planned.
“not how it works in Germany” we ain’t talking laws, we talking morality. We are talking how things should be. Laws are irrelevant to morality and if that’s your argument then you are lost.
