TFW you support Israel so much that you start treating Palestinian children just like they do.
Germans try not to be fascist challenge impossible.
In the US they would’ve tased him.
Or shot him as well as 2 bystanders and another cop, and then claimed he had a knife, but that it was subsequently stolen.
This video doesn’t even show why the child is getting chased.
According to the police the kid was being chased and secured for his own safety because he was unsupervised at the event. He was returned to the father.
Do you have a source? I couldn’t find anything about the situation outside of middle eastern news sites talking about Germany being in the wrong side of history & backlash because of the video.
Well, that’s… unexpectedly reasonable.
How dare you ruin this perfect moment of outrage with reason.
yeah, maybe „he hit a police women with the pole“ (was in the youtube comments) Dont know how illegal it is to have a palestinian flag with you.
If the Palestinian flag is illegal then all the more reason to fly it. They just want to live free and unoppressed.
In the western country where I live, riot cops don’t chase kids like that.
Now I’m torn between:
A) riot cops ignore kid
B) riot cops fire 40mm “non-leathal” whatever at kid, killing them instantly
Yeah that 10 year old had it coming.
He’s ten, flip him the bird and watch him tire himself out.
Um, whilst I agree that the powers that be are definitely anti-palestine, this is just a video of cops chasing a kid who happens to be holding a palestine flag.
Given that other people are also holding flags and not being chased, I’m guessing they’re not chasing him just because he’s holding the flag.
This is pretty disingenuous social media reporting.
Hello? This is the internet. Please don’t complicate things with your thinking and logic. /s
I don’t understand people down voting this. I’m with you - I am pro-Palestine, condemn the war crimes being committed by Israel, and recognize the pro-Israel political bias in several western countries.
With that said, this video provides 0 information on what is happening and why. I understand the bad optics of the video with multiple cops chasing a small child & him being placed in a van, but there is no indication as to why this was happening. The cops seemed professional, they were not physical with the child or protesters chucking stuff at them.
If you try to find any information about what happened in English - all you can find are middle eastern based news sites pushing a backlash narrative, without any evidence of backlash outside YouTube comments, Reddit & now here.
There is definitely an issue with pro-Israel bias in Germany because of their history, there is definitely an anti-Muslim sentiment among the right leaning population in Germany (as in many other European countries due to the perception and challenges of immigration.) But with that said - there is no reason to think the police are doing anything wrong here without some context.
And arresting him too, by the looks of it.
