Hundreds of anti-Israel protesters, counter-protesters face off in Berlin
2019-06-02
[IsraelTimes] Numbers at al-Quds Day rally reportedly lower than expected; pro-Paleostinian demonstrators call Israel a ’child murderer,’ label Zionism as ’anti-Semitic’.

Several hundred pro-Paleostinian activists demonstrated against Israel in Berlin Saturday, as part of al-Quds Day events, the Arabic name for Jerusalem, while hundreds of others held counter-protests in support of the Jewish state.

The annual al-Quds Day events established by Iran see anti-Israel protests held around the world in solidarity with the Paleostinian cause on the last Friday of the Moslem holy fasting month of Ramadan.
Why d’you suppose there are Iranian sock puppets in Germany, of all places?
Around 2,000 people had been expected to take part in Berlin, but actual turnout was apparently at around 1,000 lower.
Fifty percent lower is significant. Perhaps people are finally becoming sensible on the subject... perhaps due to lower oil prices and American sanctions, the Mad Mullahs can’t afford to buy nearly as many protesters.
Meanwhile,
...back at the Council of Boskone, Helmuth ordered the space pirate fleet to attack Zemblonia...
 around 800 people were protesting in support of Israel in two separate rallies, including several politicians, according to local press.

The German news agency dpa reported that the government’s anti-Semitism commissioner, Felix Klein; the Israeli ambassador in Germany, Jeremy Issacharoff; and Berlin’s top security official, Andreas Geisel, attended the pro-Israel rally.

Geisel urged the German government to consider banning the political wing of the terror group Hezbollah.

Police were out in force to prevent festivities between the groups.

This year’s protests come as the White House is promoting the June 25-26 meeting in the Gulf state of Bahrain as the first phase of its long-awaited Mideast peace plan. That plan, whose specifics have yet to be released, includes large-scale investment and infrastructure work in the Paleostinian territories, much of it funded by wealthy Arab countries.

Paleostinian leaders said they won’t attend the summit.

American officials said the Bahrain conference will not include the core political issues of the conflict: borders of a Paleostinian state, the status of Jerusalem, the fate of Paleostinian refugees or Israeli security demands.
