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.
You keep saying it’s Hamas’ slogan. It isn’t. It’s a PLO slogan. Hamas use it, sure, but like other Islamists, they much prefer “min il-ṃayye la-l-ṃayye / Falasṭīn ʿarabiyye” and “min il-ṃayye la-l-ṃayye / Falasṭīn ʾislāmiyy”. Not “free”, but “Arabic” and “Islamic”.

Without a profound change in Israel, of the type that South Africa underwent, there will be no peace.
Edit: since we’re on Feddit, sorry I should also mention: “with equal rights for all, especially Jews”. Like especially and particularly. All other people, are just in the “for all” category but feddit wants Jews in an especially and particularly category. Not antisemitic that policy at all.
