Palestine solidarity demonstration in Frankfurt banned
BERLIN (AA) – A protest in solidarity with Palestine set to take place on October 7 in the German city of Frankfurt has been banned by its mayor.
In a statement, Mike Josef said the protest, planned for the anniversary of the genocidal war on Gaza, could potentially “incite the public.”
The mayor said there was a “concern of anti-semitism”, asserting that holding the protest on the day was “extreme provocation.”
Israel has continued its brutal genocidal offensive on the Gaza Strip since last October 7.
The Israeli onslaught has killed more than 41,000 people and displaced almost the entire population of the territory amid an ongoing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine.
Germany has been one of the staunchest allies of Israel throughout the ongoing genocide, providing it all-out moral, diplomatic, economic and military support.
