    Were they actually breaking any law or did the government just decide it wanted to give them a beating?

      Pretty sure nowadays in germany the palestanian flag basically counts as promoting a terrorist organization. So yeah they broke the law but the law is bullshit and still shouldnt allow the officers to exert physical violence.

        You can fly the Palestinian flag just in Germany. Some slogans are typically illegal at protests like „from the river to the sea“ and a bunch of other stuff. Every protest gets its own extra rules, if deemed necessary. For example chants in Arabic might be forbidden because of incitement or hate speech in Arabic at related previous protests.

      “They are being investigated for particularly serious breach of the peace, liberation of prisoners, resisting law enforcement officers and using symbols of unconstitutional and terrorist organizations.”[…]

      “Seven officers were injured, but were able to continue their duties. Journalists were also attacked. 28 people were reportedly arrested.” […] “Participants also used umbrellas to block the view of a pro-Palestinian block. Some police officers were attacked with bottles, kicks and punches. Officers then “repeatedly used physical force”, it was reported.”

      Maybe a hot take but if you are breaking the law, you should still not receive a beating.

        Before police attacks a crowd like that, they give a warning to stop whatever illegal activity the protesters are doing.

        Agreed otherwise. Force should only be used if absolutely necessary.

      The German state is incredibly repressive against solidarity for Palestine.

        Very fake as most of the pro-palestinian propaganda here and in other websites.

        Being in favor of having a Palestinian state implies that:

        • no Hamas or any terrorist organization can be in power
        • stop teaching children to hate Jews (very common in Muslim countries by the way)
        • stop repressing liberal movement (“we want to live” movement for example, weird that nobody talked about it uh?)

        Israel needs to stop the hostilities but it is absurd that “pro-palestinian” are more and more blind and justify easily the atrocities that the radical Muslims do to their own people. Why do people not have critical thinking?

        This is not a war to obtain the legal status of the State and being recognized by Israel, the place was owned and managed by Egypt, the same that has tunnels connected to Palestine, the same that did not accept any refugees, the same countries around Palestine that did not accept them, even Lebanon where Hezbollah is. This is a war that a terrorist group decided to do because of foreign investments from Muslims that are ideologically against any Jew to be alive, this is why they repressed all the protestors in Palestine ALL THE TIME.

        Do you want to criticize Israel for their behavior? Be my guest, I agree and I am totally against any cruelty or anything that resembles oppression but if you think Hamas or any of them do it for freedom you have absolutely no idea what you are saying and you are naive.

        Mohammad Tawhidi, Mosab Hassan Yousef and hundred of people said exactly this but westerns think they know Islam better than an Imam in Dubai or Saudi Arabia that says exactly how dangerous they are.

          Israel needs to stop the hostilities

          Call it by what it really is, genocide. Radical islam is empowered by genocidal maniacs that go and destroy people’s families and livelihoods.

          No one has mentioned solidarity for Hamas. You’re the one who brought it up.

            The above guy must be on some payroll. He appears in all of the posts defending genocide by Israel.
