Police report 65 officers injured at unauthorized pro-Palestinian demonstrations | DW News

At least 174 people were arrested and 65 police officers injured at unauthorized pro-Palestinian demonstrations in Berlin on Wednesday night, according to a police spokesperson.

Authorities had banned such protests, which have been called in response to the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the militant group which killed around 1,400 Israelis in a terrorist attack two weeks ago.

Clashes broke out in the district of Neukölln between police and protesters who did not comply with orders to disperse.

Some attendees used pyrotechnics, set fire to barricades and pelted police with stones and bottles, law enforcement said.

Can someone tell me why there is not a single Pro-Palestinian protest asking for Hamas accountability or insist on Hamas to be overthrown in Gaza? Their protests and lack of anger against Hamas make no sense to me at all.

European countries need to review their migrant policies with clear rules to accommodate migrants from conflict zones and reject economic refugees. Current policies will end up destabilizing the world.

No wonder Poland is the best European country. They always knew what's going to happen.

If they want to fight against israel, they can easily go to jordan and they can try to scream at the border instead of protesting in Germany 😂😂😂😂

Imagine how this sparked out violence all over the world.😢😢😢😢😢. Let there be peace. Its all about humanity.

[SRSR-pcti]

Shout and protest is fine. Violence is not.

What are the Palestinians doing to help the hostages? If they're helpless civilians, who have nothing to do with Hamas and just want safety for their children, wouldn't they want the same for Jewish children? I absolutely support people's desire for a peaceful life and it seems to me that's what the hostages were all about when Hamas struck.

[englisho]

This is the REASON the EU don't want immigrant from Africa and Middle East.

[margaretbleakley]

Why do you think Muslems have scattered around the earth
