Everywhere here in the news are almost only pro-Palestine demos, keeping police busy.
And of course the great deeds of the politicians who took part in various commemorative events.
Where were the pro-Israel demos?!
That's what we asked ourselves too when we stood with around 30 (!) participants at Potsdamer Platz. ☻
Leastwise one cute dog demonstrated with us, hossa!

Most police men told us, they don't know.
One said that the other demo downtown (according to latest news 200 participants) was only with accreditation.
What kind of strange demo is that?!
It's understandable that the police cannot be everywhere.
But this dubious
'de-escalation strategy'
cannot be right.
There are more details to the story…some evil comments are growing in my head.
And don't get confused.
Most YT-videos report on pro-Israel events on Sunday, October 6th, 2024 (not Monday).
About 10 mins walk from Potsdamer Platz, the Brandenburg Gate was beautifully illuminated again.
The two street musicians played the violin and electric piano very nicely.
No flags anywhere, except on the roofs.
A few passers-by liked my Israel-Germany flag, the one with a stupid comment, I offered a slap.
Gute Nacht, Berlin!
