On October 7th—exactly two years after Hamas’ brutal terror attack on Israel—authorities have authorized a rally, glorifying the massacre, to go ahead in Berlin.
The event, held under the slogan “Generation after generation—until total liberation,” features a poster depicting masked figures in keffiyehs and a paratrooper.
The latter image is a clear reference to how Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel during their October 7th assault on the Supernova music festival. That attack killed 378 civilians and saw 44 people taken hostage.
Despite words and graphics that openly praise Hamas, Berlin police confirmed the rally was not banned, and will take place on Monday evening at Alexanderplatz.
Promotional materials for the event refer to Hamas atrocities as a “heroic escape from prison” and a “beacon of revolutionary hope.” Authorities have launched an investigation into possible criminal offenses under Section 140 of the German Criminal Code—which prohibits rewarding or approving crimes.
The decision to allow the rally came despite German leaders, including Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) and Berlin Mayor Kai Wegner (CDU) “declaring war” on anti-Semitism on the streets.
A similar pro-Hamas rally took place in the Netherlands on October 5th, where approximately 250,000 people joined the so-called Red Line protest in Amsterdam. Demonstrators carried signs reading “Honor the martyrs, long live the resistance,” alongside images of Hamas fighters—prompting condemnation from the Central Institute for Discrimination and International Human Rights.
